UTexas Allowing Guns in Classrooms

[Anonymous]

I would never want to teach there, or allow my children to attend school there.

Conservatives on this forum have started threads asking for the names of colleges and universities that aren't liberal. It looks like one of these gun schools might be good for them.

Well that's two schools off our list: Yale and UT.

*Yale*. Calm down, it's just a typo.

It seems unfair to lambast UT for this decision. They are a public university. The state senate passed a law allowing for open carry and the university as a public institution is essentially forced to comply.

Awesome! Let's not forget that a terrorist shooting was shut down with a gun back in May thanks to guns on school property (by a police officer, but I have absolute faith many of those that carry in TX could have done the same). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtis_Culwell_Center_attack

Exactly. No mass killers coming there. Why would they?

Perhaps. Though the police officer was trained in dealing with such situations, which I doubt many (most?) of the folks with handgun licensees are. A point made by the ex-SEAL UT Chancellor who was opposed to the bill but now is responsible for figuring out how to implement it because it is the law:

Yes. A lot of the faculty, administration, and students are really not happy about this decision, but essentially since it is a public university, they have to comply.

I don't know why you feel so safe in Dallas. This law applies to all Texas public 4 year universities.

I am literally terrified of a shoot out. Instead of 4 people dying, it will 20 because of untrained people and cross fire.

Good. Send your kid there. A police officer is one thing. As for the "many of those that carry in TX"? Nah, not taking that kind of risk with my kid. That's crazy talk.
