"Obscene materials are defined as those that the average person, applying contemporary community standards, find, taken as a whole, appeal to the prurient interest; that depict or describe, in a patently offensive way, sexual conduct specifically defined by applicable state law; and that, taken as a whole, lack serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value."
Now if that's not an arbitrary, dogmatic degree of a mindset bent on suppressing culture, I don't know what is. Just what is, on any level, "serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value?" That's like asking a court to define "Art". It's ridiculous, especially now of all times, when the academic world has never been more uncertain of its own values and foundations for gauging these sorts of things.
