Women's Studies Department Doesn't Want Ron Jeremy

The Boston Herald reports:
The decision to invite flesh king Ron Jeremy to Simmons College this week to debate pornography is a “dreadful mistake,” charged one feminist whose criticism is backed by angry students who say his industry glorifies sexism.
Some Simmons College students and professors are outraged that Jeremy, a porn star past his prime who has starred in more than 1,000 adult movies and reportedly bedded more than 4,000 women, will debate author and feminist Susan Cole about the place of pornography in society Tuesday.
“He is a person affiliated with an industry based on racism, classism and sexism,” said 21-year-old Simmons senior Dana Bialer. “He’s a white male who is very rich and has gotten very rich from pornography, and because of that he doesn’t have the ability to speak accurately on the topic.”
If Ron Jeremy was a Marxism who thought killings millions was alright in the name of socialism: he be welcomed on campus.
