Students aged between 16 and 17 attended a health and sexuality workshop, which most believed would be a sex-ed class. Instead, the teens were educated on everything about porn. The course, which was officially titled “Pornography Literacy: An intersectional focus on mainstream porn,” featured a list of the most-searched porn terms in 2019.
“The often-explicit slide presentation and lecture by Fonte to the 120 boys and girls included lessons on how porn takes care of ‘three big male vulnerabilities;’ statistics on the ‘orgasm gap’ showing straight women have far fewer orgasms with their partners than gay men or women; and photos of partially-nude women, some in bondage, to analyze ‘what is porn and what is art,'” according to the New York Post.
One of the topics taught to the teen girls and boys in the course was the “marketability of OnlyFans,” which is the subscription app where adults sell nude and explicit images and videos of themselves.
The porn class was taught by Justine Ang Fonte, the director of Health & Wellness at another elite prep school, Dalton. Fonte’s website boasts that she has “reveled in disrupting health education for 10 years.”
“We were all like, ‘What?'” a female student told the Post. “Everyone was texting each other, ‘What the hell is this? It’s so stupid.’ Everyone knows about porn. The worst part of it was that it took place not long before the AP tests and I had to miss both my AP classes for this.”
