Harvard University is one of the many American institutions that promote “Sex Week”….all for student health, of course.

The College Fix Assistant Editor Jennifer Kabbany shares some information about another, less well-known, sex-oriented program at the school.

….And while people across the country raised eyebrows at some of the silliness and vulgarity taking place at one of the nation’s most preeminent institutions of higher education, some Harvard students simultaneously took part in a far more important, more dignified version of Sex Week, albeit a far less noticed one.

Harvard’s White Ribbon Against Pornography Week ran this week, and featured panels such as: The Homewrecker: Pornography, Relationships, and the Family; Hookup Culture: Slavery or Freedom?; Pornography in Society: How Did We Get Here?; Collateral Damage: How Pornography Affects Women; and True Manhood In An Age of Empty Indulgence.

The weeklong series of talks, which included notable speakers such as Dr. Peter Kreeft, was co-sponsored by Harvard Daughters of Isabella and Knights of Columbus; Harvard College Faith and Action; Harvard College Anscombe Society; and the Harvard Catholic Student Association.

Attempts by The College Fix to reach Harvard College Anscombe Society members this week were unsuccessful. Regardless, the weeklong series of anti-porn seminars are a positive sign of hope in the wake of a never-ending onslaught of smut coming from college campuses, in which graphic and gratuitous sexual seminars and events of all sorts are much the norm. One need only search The Fix for terms such as sex, porn, naked or orgasm if one wants the salacious details.

But take heart – more good news from the Ivy League this week comes by way of Yale University, which debuted an inaugural pro-life conference. Or by way of Princeton University, which hosted a speaker who defended the definition of marriage as a union between man and woman.

The campus counterculture today is alive and in full swing, and it’s the conservative students who are leading the charge.
