¿Freedom?
We ought not be surprised:
No, really. Imagine that. Legislature passes law to allow guns in classrooms. Professors worry about safety. Advice is given to just do nothing to upset the people with guns.
Once again, we see just how gun-loving patriots protect our freedom.
One need not postulate conspiracy theories; this manner of isn't-that-convenient is a properly American habit―file under, "Don't Pretend We Couldn't See That One Coming".
Once upon a time I could be seen using the phrase, "conceptual integrity"; the basic idea is that one's argument should remain consistent enough throughout so as not to defeat itself.
So much for the Second Amendment protecting the rest of our rights.
Question for the "responsible gun owners": Does it bug you at all when thoughtless fools reduce your constitutional rights to morbid farce?
Thus, "responsible gun owner" neighbors, it's your turn. They're not listening to us, so you explain it to them. That is to say, you really, really don't like it when society deals with these problems, so why don't you do the rest of us the kind favor of your simple duty to your beloved guns, and explain it to them, before this gets any further out of hand?

We ought not be surprised:
"Be careful discussing sensitive topics," professors at the University of Houston were warned in a faculty meeting about the new "campus carry" gun policy.
An unofficial forum of professors suggested that teachers may want to "drop certain topics from your curriculum," and "not ‘go there' if you sense anger," the Houston Chronicle reports.
A new Texas law will allow people to carry concealed handguns on university campuses.
Jeffrey Villines, a Ph.D. student in the university's English department, shared a photo of what he said is a slide from a "recent campus carry dialogue at UH, in response to faculty concerns about dangers from armed students" ....
.... A spokesperson at the University of Houston stressed in a message to Salon that this slide was not created by the university's Campus Carry Workgroup and "is not official policy." The spokesperson also indicated that the university's draft policy is expected to be released in the next week.
