Pa. College Boots Student for Making Porn

Bisexual model violated Christian school's code of conduct: officials

(Newser) – Instead of getting ready for graduation this week, 22-year-old John Gechter finds himself kicked out of western Pennsylvania’s Grove City College for work he did in Miami and Chicago. The school is one of the most conservative Christian colleges in the US, and Gechter’s job was acting in gay pornography, so his suspension is perhaps not surprising, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

“Instead of working 40 hours a week as a busboy or a waiter, you do a scene and then you have time to concentrate on schoolwork,” explains Gechter, who describes himself as bisexual. But Grove City didn’t appreciate his economic reasons for breaking the school honor code, which prohibits “premarital sex, heterosexual or homosexual.”

He's an adult, and it's not like he was desecrating the college. This is something he did on his own, leave him be.

I think the college had beef with him doing porn, not being gay. A private school has every right to uphold a code of conduct for their students and since they are not trying to impose their will on those who don't attend the school, it is not any of our places to question the ideals they hold for the students who do decide to go there. All in all, this is a non-story unless you go to this school, or any school with similar codes of conduct.
