A philosophy/ethics professor at Fredonia has expressed his support and encouragement of pedophilia and adult-child sexual relationships, in interviews, his own academic papers, and even class material. While the university can and should foster a difference of opinions, these views are directly harmful to a community already dealing with instances of sexual assault and struggles with consent. While Fredonia made a statement saying his views don't reflect that of the institution, by labeling him as a distinguished professor and supporting his problematic academic papers, it directly shows the college encourages his actions and views, and personally, I don't feel safe on a campus that encourages this behavior. We need to have Stephen Kershnar removed from campus to preserve both the safety and integrity that this institution of SUNY Fredonia promises and should strive to be known for.
