It`s a nin-issue!! The problem was resolved!!

What is there to discuss?

Silly liberals.....no wonder it is a dirty word.

*sigh*

She was concerned he was keeping the firearms on campus housing, which is illegal.

 

[Vette73]

Yea not that faux would cover the facts but it does not say what he said in class. He could have said something to alarm a student and the teacher followed schools rules and reported it.


yea that can;t be it, must be the evil liberals. :roll:

Even the student did not want to talk about what happened when asked.

actually this is exactly why they should have tenure, so that stupid people like you don't start lynch mobs over stupid shit.

Hopefully a conservative professor will call the cops on the next hippy that stands up in class and says we need to legalize hard drugs. (No, pot is not a hard drug).

The students were given assignments to do a persuasive speech on something current event wise.

He spoke on letting teachers/students who have concealed carry licenses to carry on campus.

Sounds like the teacher was legitimately scared, or wanted to cover her ass in case the student shot somebody and it turned out she didn't alert people about his leanings. Without hearing his essay and delivery we can't begin to judge if the teacher was justified or not.

I'm also not sure how the teacher was identified as liberal. Source?

 

[halik]

Whata fucking idiot ( the professor)... you're making an intellectual argument for Concealed Carry and the retort is calling cops? WTF?

 

[Atomic Playboy]

It was an overreaction on the part of the professor, presumably stimulated by the frequency of school shootings in the past decade. In the wake of Columbine and Virginia Tech, schools have become much more cautious with anything that even hints at the possibility of leading to a shooting. Imagine if the teacher hadn't investigated and the student had ended up being a wacko and shooting up the school; her ass would be up shit creek without a paddle for not reporting it "suspicious" that he would give speeches about guns. It's an unfortunate pussification of America in the wake of horrible tragedies, and I don't support it, but I can see why the professor acted as she did.

And like I said before it does not say what he said in that report and it doe snot say why the teacher called the police. he could have said I always have a gun on me and someone told the teacher he live son campus. If the teacher did not report then they could get fired.


Also this is a Fox story so we all know they never slant anything. :roll: Let alone even the kid did not wnat to talk to them.

[frostedflakes]

Wow, sounds pretty ridiculous. I wonder if the students have CCLs and mentioned it in the presentation, and the teacher called the cops because she was afraid the students would carry on campus even though it's prohibited. Just trying to figure out what made her feel threatened, there has to be more to this story.

Thanks, that backs up what I and others said...

"They told Wahlberg that they had received a complaint from his professor that his presentation was making students feel ?scared and uncomfortable?."

A/some students had concerns and I bet policy/rules were that the teacher contact the school police.

Also the teacher talked with their boss...

"I seek guidance and consultation from the Chair of my Department, the Dean and any relevant University officials.?"

So it was not only the teacher that said to do this it seems.

But as someone pointed out, the article doesn't mention what he said in his presentation. While people tend to automatically side with one group just because, you really can't do that when a lot is still unknown.

Unless he said "I think everyone should have a gun on campus, and I have one now", or made threats, I hope this teacher is fired.

What a bunch of little urban bubble-kids they have to be to be scared of talking about firearms.

Thank you, 2nd amendment.

There's actually nothing to concretely say it was school policy, just that she talked with the chair and dean. Yes, the dean would probably be able to set school policy, but the policy might not have existed for it until then.
