Don’t teach “sensitive topics” or anger students, Houston professors are warned after “campus carry”

This is easily one of the dumbest things I've ever seen in my life.Students can now carry guns in the classroom, so consequently professors don't feel safe in the classroom. College is supposed to be for the development of intelligence. I'd never let my child attend college in Texas. Texas is a fucking joke.

Commie professors have been creating "safe spaces" for years now. Millennials have been too timid to hear anything that offends their preconceived notions for quite a few years now.

It will be interesting to see them after they graduate from their socially just cocoons and turn pro.

And let me guess, this is going to somehow make things better?

I like guns and own several guns, but I can't see the wisdom in allowing college students to carry guns to class.

If they are responsible young adults who are licensed to do so why not I feel teachers should be able to aswell this would stop any attempted school shootings if a teacher pissed me off that much I could kill them with a pencil in fact I got suspended multiple times in elementary school for pencil stabbings should we have to write with crayons?

I carried a gun to college every day from the VaTech shooting onward, about 2 years. It was not legal to do so, and a few people accidentally saw it a time or two. But I refuse to be huddled into a corner just hoping an active shooter doesn't come into my room.

That said, I'm not sure it is a great idea, I would support having professors armed.

But this is what our country is about, Texas is now running a grand experiment. Let's see how it unfolds first before we judge it. I wonder which will happen first, an armed student stops a gunman on campus, or a professor says the wrong thing and a student shoots her for it?

We let them carry them to war....

At 16 I along with most of my classmates carried rifles and shotguns in the rear window our old trucks to school for the world to see, handguns on/under the seats. No one died.

But leaving your can of chew on the dash was a bad idea. The sun would dry it out, or your buddies might wedge open a wing window and steal it from you.

Best way to grow up. Beats pavement covered everything and the constant sound of sirens. And as mentioned, we didn't have anyone shooting up the school. I have no idea how that happened, I mean there wan't a single "gun free zone" sign up anywhere and we could of all died at any moment!!!

I dig. I'm not from the city either. I'm from somewhere in between the city and guns in the rear window.

The guns aren't the problem - its the people. I personally don't understand the whole "guns are evil" bandwagon, or the engine that powers it.

Take some several hundred year old rules/regulations, copious amounts of uncontrolled synthetic psychological evolution, and throw some good 'ole fashioned primal instincts into the mix, and it doesn't really matter if guns even exist. The mindset would remain the same. Humans will continue to destroy themselves at a progressive rate.

then why does every country have people, but only we have a neverending series of gun massacres?

and the only negative is that you grew up to be a white supremacist and a racial segregationist.

You make a very good point. I believe western civilization, generally speaking, has managed to commercialize violence, and even incorporate it into culture. There are countless subconscious triggers and influences throughout most peoples daily lives here. While that certainly is no excuse to go mow down crowds of people, I do think that it makes it easier for someone to do such a thing after they have spent their lives seeing it portrayed in such romantic ways. If people could go about their daily lives without a need for destroying other people, it would be a beautiful thing. You wouldn't have to worry about carrying a weapon to defend yourself, or wonder if the guy next to you in class loaded up his Sig this morning thinking of you.

I just keep getting this image of a day when test scores are handed out in a Texas school room. As kids start getting their "F"s, the room starts to look like something from High Noon where everybody is waiting for the other person to draw. Teacher ready, kids ready, then a bell goes off...

Really? Texas is an experiment where we get to count the bodies and decide after 10 years or so whether or not it was a good thing to do? Its so dumb only a Texan would like it.
