According Alex Mazzara, the topic of pedophilia as a sexual orientation was discussed in class.
The San Diego student made this public through his Twitter social account.
According to Mazzara, the class started to discuss about the topic after they were put through watching an eight-minute video from Vice News that featured a “showcasing” of “self-identified pedophiles.”
“An actual topic we discussed in class today at a State University after watching an 8 minute Vice News video showcasing self identified pedophiles. This is going to be mainstreamed,” tweeted Mazzara.

Mazzara went on to say how some of the students described pedophilia in class.
“Some people agreed that it was a sexual orientation because they “were born that way and can’t help it” others disagreed only because they feared that labeling pedophilia a sexual orientation would harm gays and lesbians because they would then be on the same level,” he responded.
SOME PEOPLE AGREED THAT IT WAS A SEXUAL ORIENTATION BECAUSE THEY “WERE BORN THAT WAY AND CAN’T HELP IT” OTHERS DISAGREED ONLY BECAUSE THEY FEARED THAT LABELING PEDOPHILIA A SEXUAL ORIENTATION WOULD HARM GAYS AND LESBIANS BECAUSE THEY WOULD THEN BE ON THE SAME LEVEL

Mazzara also tweeted that his tweet attracted the anger of a lot of pedophiles, who had been dominating his mentions since the tweet went out.
“I’ve had out and proud pedophiles in my mentions for 2 days now. There are entire communities of these people who promote their filth publicly. Sadly I’d predict this is going mainstream in the next 10 years,” said Mazzara.
