Promoting Pedophilia at State University of New York: “Benefits and Advantages of Adult-Child Sex”

The comments were made by Dr. Stephen Kershnar “a distinguished teaching professor in the philosophy department at the State University of New York at Fredonia and an attorney,” according to his faculty page on the SUNY Fredonia website.

Promotion of sex with a one year old is free speech. Conservative thought and Americanism is prohibited hate speech.

We’re in hell.

Woke Professor Under Review for ‘Reprehensible’ Remarks Defending Pedophilia

By: Madeline Leesman Townhall | February 06, 2023:

A State University of New York (SUNY) professor is under investigation by the school after he appeared to defend pedophilia in a video posted by Libs of TikTok and went viral.

Professor Stephen Kershnar teaches libertarian philosophy and applied ethics at SUNY Fredonia, according to the New York Post. He was filmed questioning if pedophilia was wrong and claimed that a 12-year-old girl could consent to be a “willing participant” to have sex with an adult man.

“Imagine that an adult male wants to have sex with a 12-year-old girl. Imagine that she’s a willing participant,” he said in the video. “A very standard, a very widely-held view that there’s something deeply wrong about this. And it’s wrong independent of it being criminalized. It’s not obvious to me that it’s, in fact, wrong. I think this is a mistake. And I think that exploring why it’s a mistake will tell us not only things about adult-child sex and statutory rape, but also fundamental principles of morality.”

“There’s a couple things to say here,” the professor continued. “One is, even if you are looking for a threshold…let’s say it’s age 8. Still, that tells you that some adult-child sex is permissible.”

“The notion that it’s wrong even with a 1-year-old is not quite obvious to me,” he continued, adding that children consenting to sexual activity is like playing a sport or preparing for their Bar Mitzvah.

“There’s lots of activities that children engage in that they don’t understand all that well,” he claimed.

He suggests that we don’t know if sex with a minor is good or bad, so therefore it shouldn’t be banned or condemned pic.twitter.com/tFQZxArgQS
