The University of Maryland Student Union usually shows independent or foreign films. But this Saturday at midnight the facility will be screening the hardcore skin flick "Pirates II: Stagnetti's Revenge." University officials agreed to run the movie on the grounds that it would provide students with an alternative to late-night drinking and other dangerous activities.

University chaplain Rev. Kyle Ingels disagrees, and argues that promoting porn "runs counter to our efforts to try to form people to be men and women who will go out and contribute to society."

While it's not like the students will be seeing anything that isn't easily available in their dorm rooms, an explicit endorsement of porn by a university certainly is a bold move. Do you think porn is an acceptable extracurricular on a college campus?
