UT Austin Professor Under Fire for Defending Sex with Underage Boys
BREITBART ^ | January 10, 2020 | Tom Ciccotta

Professor Thomas Hubbard of the University of Texas at Austin has come under fire from members of the community for his scholarly writing on the relationship between men and teenage boys. Some members of the community have even begun calling for Hubbard’s termination.

According to a report by The College Fix, UT Austin Professor Thomas Hubbard has come under fire for a series of scholarly pieces that have defended relationships between older men and teenage boys.

In December, the Dallas Morning News published an editorial entitled “A UT professor ‘researches’ pederasty. Why are we paying for it?” which focused on Hubbard’s research. “Pederasty” refers to sexual relationships between adult men and pubescent or adolescent boys. Such relationships are considered child sexual abuse or statutory rape in most of the modern world.

In one passage from Hubbard’s published research, the classics professor went as far as to argue that pederastic relationships were beneficial to young men in Ancient Greece.

In Ancient Greece, “where age-discrepant relationships are commonplace and positively reinforced, they cause little or no long-term harm to the younger partner and often confer great benefit,” Hubbard wrote.

Hubbard claims that he does not hold a radical position on age of consent laws. In an interview, he claimed that he has advocated for a softening of America’s age of consent laws, but only to match those of most European states.

Ancient Greece basically ceased to exist because women stopped having children...

If the student had any balls they would tar and feather him and ride him off campus on a rail, he is an obvious danger to the community.

According to the John Jay Report on sex abuse by Catholic priests, the perverts' favorite age for boys was twelve.

Twelve.

‘Professor’ and ‘scholarly’ have become useless words.

Scholarly, yeah right.

Socrates, in addition to being an obnoxious jerk, couldn’t stop molesting boys. And he the authorities eventually condemned him to death for it.

Also what about the child’s right to be left alone.

They assume children have no rights. Just gross.

I am surprised this has gotten any coverage. This Professor has been an activist for changes in the AOC for a long time. He Is a classicist who wrote the seminal sourcebook on objects in antiquity that describe homosexuality in Greece and Rome. He wrote several other books on homosexuality. He also wrote a book entitled “Censoring Sex Research: The Debate over Male Intergenerational Relations”. Or in other words the debate over pederasty.

Here it is on Amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/Censoring-Sex-Research-Intergenerational-Relations/dp/1611323398

He is a big supporter of Tomovitch and Rind’s work. And the research isn’t about child sex abuse. It’s about finding a way to reclassify that abuse normal. These men long for the bygone days of ancient Greece, where pederasty was common and legal. It is a goal of these homosexualists to bring this horrific behavior back into the main stream.

He probably should have been in jail along time ago for sexual abuse of children.

He needs to be investigated to find the evidence and throw the book at him.
