Why doesn't society allow pornography in schools ?

Hey Uncle, what's up!\n\nMy answer would be: \npornos are falsely described as "marital learning tools" by the creators of them. All pornos are depictions of sex in a lewd way. Sex is natural but pornos are too graphic to actually "teach" students.

Journalists can be ordered by a judge to reveal their sources and jailed if they refuse, but they do not have to reveal their sources without a court order.\n\nNude dancing is not protected by the first amendment, which is why cities can ban nude bars and they tend to be in unincorporated areas. "Obscene" material has no first amendment protection.\n\nBible study can be conducted in public schools if and only if it is conducted as part of a literature course and it is only discussed in so far as it is literature. Otherwise, religious events can be held on school grounds outside of school times as long as the grounds are available for any religious meeting that may want to use them.

They coincide with the federal laws. In general, federal laws are what governs child pornography cases. Why? Because very little child pornography exists that isn't moved about the country from state to state. this makes it a federal issue.

I think this is a very good question.  How does society tolerate violence?  Just take a look at television and movies:  parents have no problem with their kids seeing murders and other acts of violence on a regular basis, but heaven forbid they see two people having sex.  Look at video games:  was it Grand Theft Auto that had game players shooting cops and running people over, and that was fine until it was learned that kids could access sexually explicit material?  Killing is OK but seeing a naked body isn't?  This is especially weird because I'm sure most people expect their kids to grow up and have sex but don't expect or want them to grow up to become murderers.  When's the last time a book was censored for violence?  How about for sexual content?  How did the words "sex and violence" end up being paired to begin with?  Sex is a natural, life-creating act.  Violence is, I guess, natural, too--human history seems to prove that--but it is destructive, and it makes no sense for a society to want to destroy itself or its members.  Please note:  I am not advocating that children have sex, watch sex, etc.  I'm also not advocating that they go around shooting people, either.

They obviously need to have a high degree of oversight, but to leave it totally to the community can do a great disservice to its students.  All you need is enough short-sighted individuals determined to "fix" schools and the next thing you know they're burning books and teaching religion.  Censorship never taught anyone anything, expcept that the suppression of ideas is dangerous.\n\nMaintaining high academic standards and an unbiased curriculum is everyone's responsibility.

Uh it's called Freedom of Speech, maybe you'd prefer living in the Soviet Union, or a bubble perhaps...\nThe problem isn't that we allow it, anything in moderation, that doesn't harm another or break the law should be tolerated. The problem is people that take things too far, do harm others, break laws and turn porn into a dirty thing. Where did the cruel beast thing come from, that was random!

I am from Australia and find it the same over here. I personally think it is wrong. As long as the nudity and sexual behaviour isn't trashy I don't mind it. I'd far prefer my kids see a naked person (after all it's only natural) than see someone be violent to another. I don't know how our society came to the conclusion that violence is OK. Sad.

You could go with the route of pornography corrupting the morals of society.  You could even relate it to the fact that over X% of Americans have some type of organized religion and while the Laws of the US protect pornography under the 1st amendment every religion (to my knowledge) frowns upon it.  You might also want to add that while the Constitution is meant to separate church and state that the line between the two is continually being blurred with a major political party gathering around conservative christian rights, and the recent court cases upholding the word God on currency, state building, pledge of allegiance, etc...  Hope this helps.  :-)

Lots of reasons. Mainly though, the people that control the curriculum in public schools do NOT want you to be able to protect yourself. That makes you easier to control, and force into complying with situations which you wouldn't tolerate if you had the ability to resist.

Here are some of the books I was assigned in high school that were considered perfectly reasonable for teenagers to be exposed to: Julius Caesar (full of murderous plotting and actual murder and several suicides), White Fang (people trained dogs to viciously attack each other so they could gamble on it), Crime and Punishment (murder),  Romeo and Juliet (murder, drugs and suicide), MacBeth (murder), Hamlet (murder by poisoning, numerous deaths).\n\nSo what I'm saying is I don't believe in outright censorship in schools.  There are some things that are clearly not acceptable for children to be exposed to.  I wonder how many of these morally righteous people have children, I wonder how many who have children let their children play hours of video games (not just violent) or have the TV or Internet as babysitters.\n\nThere are far worse things for children to be exposed to in life.  The best way to stem the violence is for parents to talk to their children and spend more time with them.  Do not be pleasers, be parents.

Yes, they can say it would invoke controvery and therefore it shouldn't be allowed. Some schools have crosses and jewish stars banned, because it could start religious controversy. But shouldn't schools be teaching these kids to be more tolerant, instead of pretending these problems don't exist?

The are laws limiting public nudity, and there are Constitutional limits to those rules.   The law is complicated, but there are free speech protections (not absolute) to nude dancing in clubs, and the state could not ban nudity in one's private home.

Teachings of our society. There have been  many societies where nudity was accepted as normal.

well, first of all, its entirely natural for your kid to be curious about sex, and nudity at this point. and yeah, you need to know where the cards came from. but dont overreact. explain to them that such things are for adults, not for children. nor are they appropriate for school. i assume that the cards have been taken away. its sort of hard to know how to punish a child who doesnt realize that they have porn, and are bringing these things to their friends because they are curious. i personally dont think punishment is appropriate. just make sure they understand that certain things are not for children, and not for public consumption. and this is definately a sign that you need to have a serious conversation with your kid about sex. better it comes from you than one of their enormously misinformed friends or the internet. dont be angry. they didnt do it to disobey. they did it to satify curiosity. so satisfy it in a more constructive way.

US soldiers are not allowed to have pornography for three reasons.\n1) It is considered offensive to some female soldiers .\n2) It is offensive to Islam .\n3) It may cause soldiers to commit sexual assault . \nDo you see the kind of crap, american soldiers have to deal with ? The army has become a "politically correct" organization.\nNext they'll be telling us to hold hands and sing camp songs . \n\nSometimes it truly sucks to be a soldier .!!!!

Yes, it'd be better if children were prevented from such events, because they may not truly understand the implications of sex, and fetishes, etc.\nst

In most civilized democracies, nudes (not gross pornography) are allowed in magazines for an adult audience. \n\nThis means all of Western Europe, Japan, many parts of South America, Australia, etc, as well as in the US.
