Critical Discourse at Princeton

Remember Sex Week at Yale last month? I know it's over until next year, but take heart: Princeton is apparently maintaining Ivy League standards with a talk on pornography by a real pro -"feminist pornographer" Tristan Taormino, complete with cinematic examples. As one student supporter puts it, this is an entirely appropriate component in the ongoing "critical discourse" at Princeton. As I noted previously, Ivy League schools may be expensive, but they sure give you your money's worth for 45-50K per year. Certainly appears to make all of those high school AP courses and SAT tutoring sessions worth it, don't you think?
