As a student on this campus I applaud Paula for her bravery to report this dangerous criminal to the police. I do not want some redneck carrying around tools designed to take human life on my campus.

As a student at CCSU i am deeply concerned. I do not agree with Wahlberg and I believe he should be put in prison for saying such things. When someone speaks of promoting guns they are promoting MURDER and should be punished. I’m all for free speech, just not when it comes to guns.

AND THE MORONS WHO MADE THESE STATEMENTS ARE IN COLLEGE. WHAT A WASTE OF SOME PARENTS MONEY. ANYONE WHO THINKS SOMEONE SHOULD BE PUT IN PRISON FOR EXERCISING FREE SPEACH SHOULD THEMSELVES BE PARACHUTED INTO COMMUNIST CHINA OR IRAN. I WOULD HAVE TOLD THE CAMPUS POLICE THAT IT WAS NONE OF THEIR #@%&*&$#@%^%&^%@^% BUSINESS WHERE I KEEP MY FIREARMS AND FILED A COMPLAINT OF HARRASSMENT, AND I WOULD HAVE FILED A CIVIL SUT AGAINST THE TEACHER, THE UNIVERSITY AND THE CAMPUS POLICE. SMALL CALIMS COURT IS NOW UP TO $10,000 AND CAN BE A GREAT SOURCE OF SATISFACTION AND AMUSEMENT EVEN IF YOU LOSE. YOU REALLY HAVE TO QUESTION THE QUALITY OF EDUCATION A PERSON COULD GET FROM A SCHOOL WITH THIS KIND OF RETARDED HYSTERICAL MIND SET.

I sent this:

You should be ashamed of what you did to the student who gave a logical, orderly presentation in front of your class about guns on campus. You attacked him. You vilified him. You embarrassed him for no reason. He was never a threat - you went on an ideological rampage and tried to bully this student into being ashamed of his beliefs.

Sadly, your views on the subject cannot be supported by science, statistics, or any other measure of reality. The fact is, legal gun ownership by responsible, law-abiding citizens saves lives. The same people with concealed carry permits who would be allowed to carry on a school campus already carry across the street in restaurants, coffee shops, and retail stores. They do not get angry and go off. You don't stand in line, volunteer to undergo increased legal scrutiny, have a background check done, pay tons of money, and be fingerprinted to commit a crime of passion with a handgun.

Gun free zones do, in fact, create zones of defenseless victims - zones preferred by criminals for their soft targets and lack of resistance. As you've made your narrow-mindedness clear, I doubt you'll ever change your mind, but it's not right to assault the beliefs of a student just because you disagree with his premise.

Have a good day,

I sure hope Mr. Wahberg sues.

When I attended college (years ago) I found they were very open to free thinking as long as it matched the professors and administrations approved method of free thinking. Doesn't look like much has changed.

I always wrote a paper about 24-48 hours before it was due (regardless of length). I just remembered to write about whatever it was that the Professor harped-about the most, be effusive and overly-eloquent, and wait for my "A". But I never encountered a Professor that didn't at least pretend to listen to the "other" side of the story.

Sadly, most classes could be subtitled "How to think like the teacher."

Me too - a long time ago.

Y'all have to keep in mind that this ocurred in Connecticut, the home of Chis Dodd and his daddy, where guns are not welcome but thievery and misrepresentation will get you elected to the U.S. Senate - time after time. Can you say yankees?

I spent weeks preparing my semester paper for English Composition during my short and unlamented college career back in 1965 and '66, the paper was to be on a subject of your choice and a minimum of 20 pages, maximum 30 pages. I did what I felt was a well researched paper on the history of the development of firearms, including footnotes, references and a pretty extensive bibliography, 28 pages long (not the biblio, the whole paper). The professor took off an entire letter grade for "inappropriate subject matter."

I filed a formal complaint and that professor and I butted heads for the whole next semester and I finished the year with a C-. When I went back, years later, to get a transcript, I found that my grade had been entered in the archive as an F, and that a couple of other grades had been whited out and overwritten. Even presenting my original report card showing the grades was fruitless, they said it was too easy for someone to fake up something like that (this in 1983, well before the digital capabilities we are used to today) and they refused to correct my records.

Guess who had been promoted to dean and registrar in 1967? I still have trouble believing that someone could be so shallow and petty as to resort to changing the grades of someone who was obviously not destined to be a college standout, but years of experience have taught me that it's not that uncommon.

...and this travesty of academia took place in what state?
