Student leaders at the University of Maryland screened portions of a pornographic movie Monday night, despite threats from a state senator to remove all funding from the school, The Washington Post reported.
The student union originally planned to show the pornographic film "Pirates II: Stagnetti's Revenge" Saturday night. Administrators canceled the screening after state Sen. Andrew Harris, R-Baltimore and Harford Counties, threatened to introduce legislation removing all state funding from schools showing pornography.
The student leaders showed a half-hour portion of the film. A panel on free speech and pornography accompanied the screening, according to the Post.
