After Catholic University students vote to ban porn on campus WiFi, non-profit renews call for Notre Dame to follow
About a week after Catholic University of America students in Washington, D.C., voted to bar access to pornographic websites via the on-campus wireless internet network, a nonprofit anti-pornography organization renewed its call for the University of Notre Dame to enact similar measures.
“It is disappointing that the University of Notre Dame is ignoring the persistent pleas of their students to filter the University’s public WiFi from pornography and child sex abuse images which is consistent with the call of Pope Francis…,” Enough Is Enough President and CEO Donna Rice Hughes said in response.
“This filter would send the unequivocal message that pornography is an affront to human rights and catastrophic to individuals and relationships,” the men wrote. “We are calling for this action in order to stand up for the dignity of all people, especially women.” While Enough Is Enough continues its appeals to Notre Dame, about 680 miles away in Washington, D.C., Catholic University of America’s student government approved a resolution prohibiting campus WiFi users from accessing the top 200 pornographic websites. While the students at Catholic don’t have the ability to make that change on their own, the office of university President John Garvey told Newsweek that the school intends to implement it.
