Q: Do you think American History courses and books will someday reference this time in American history when Laura Love appeared here?
My friend, I think you’re poking fun at me. Up until this point in time I can’t single of single instance where an American History course focused on pornography, or the women that appeared in these films. I also can’t foresee the day when this will become the case.
The main problem here is that I don’t even think Laura Love is a household name. Should she be? Yes. Will she be? No. Many great figures in American History have gone largely ignored. You can read entire books dedicated to the stories, and figures that history books have chosen to ignore. It’s a shame, but it’s true.
Now, with that being said I would fully endorse making Laura Love an integral part of any curriculum for any age. Certainly for kids under 18 you would want to filter out ANY and ALL adult content. Her interview segments though could be used as a teaching tool in art classes about beauty, and for college students they could probably devote an entire class or degree program to her.
Her appeal transcends the level of one’s education though, so just because a person doesn’t attend college doesn’t mean they should be deprived of learning about the greatest star the world has ever known (or not known). Luckily her appearances are widely available for anyone to study, and they should study them. I wouldn’t be scared off just because you lack a college degree.
They could even offer an online degree program, a B.A. in Laura Love. I like that idea a lot. Perhaps if people studied her more they would want to learn more about the U.K. and that thirst for knowledge would expand into other areas as well. As a result test scores would undoubtedly rise, and we would turn out the brightest, most well-rounded students in the world, and that would be the legacy that Laura Love could leave for the history books.
Maybe then, if everyone cared enough, Laura Love could end up in American History books. Although with her being British I’m sure there will be some reluctance on the part of academics to allow that to happen.
I would definitely take an MA in Laura Love after my accounting degree that is.
