He is no different than many other younger professors. The head of the statistics department at UT Arlington was asked to lead a public forum on campus carry before the bill didn't pass the first time. He spent an hour harranging the students who attended that session about the evils of guns on campus while claiming that he had (at the time) a CHL. And then there was the sociology professor at Texas Women's University who wrote the artice for Time magazine two years ago. She claimed that she was going to have to give all of her students As because she was so terrified that one of them would shoot her with the soon-to-be legal guns in her classroom.Lynyrd wrote:And this idiot is a prof?

I suspect that professors do have some unpleasant discussions with students over grades. But extrapolating those ugly discussions to all students is one step worse than convicting all gun owners for the problems with the criminals who carry guns. It might be fun to engage the good professor in a discussion about why he feels unsafe. I suspect that his Elitism would jump out in less than two minutes of that conversation.
