Texas professor claims concealed carry will force her to give A’s or get shot

Jessica Smartt Gullion, an assistant professor at the Texas Woman’s University, has decided that allowing students to carry concealed weapons would force the school’s educators to give students higher grades than they deserve.

On August 1st, the state’s campus carry law goes into effect, allowing individuals with a concealed carry license to carry a firearm in all 4 year colleges and universities throughout the state. University of Texas professors Lynn Glass, Lisa Moore and Mia Carter decided to file a lawsuit, asking for an injunction to prevent the law going into effect. They contend that the presence of guns in their classroom will “…chill speech in their ‘courses that touch emotional issues like gay rights and abortion.’” Funny, isn’t it though, that the people who can really be counted on to respond to emotional issues with some degree of violence are inevitably liberals!

In an article published by Newsweek and the Houston Chronicle, Professor Gullion declared that “…a question coming up for many academics is whether they would be forced to give A grades to undeserving students, just so they can avoid being shot.” The professor continues with:

In my five years as a college professor, I have had experiences with a number of emotionally distressed students who resort to intimidation when they receive a lesser grade than what they feel they deserve…

Allowing students to carry weapons to class strips off a layer of safety. Students are often emotional and can be volatile when it comes to their GPAs. Who would want to give a student a low grade and then get shot for it?

So according to the professor, students with a concealed carry license will intimidate instructors into giving them higher marks. Throw in the loss of that valuable “Gun Free Zone” guarantee of safety and...

While I am probably not the first to observe this, I just cannot help myself.

Jessica Smartt is really not very.

Not very Smartt, is she?

She probably needs to resign and go live on a commune.

I think what she really means is she would normally flunk conservatives as soon as they opened their mouths, but now she is too scared to do that.

exactly, a LOT of Texans already carry deep concealment on campus. look at my user name you can tell where I may have ignored the silly gun free zone signs and no onr would have been the wiser. My personal mantra is better to be tried by 6 with the knowledge of jury nullification thab carried by 12. make sure your lawyer knows the words extant circumstances.

Then she should just buy a gun and threaten students who don’t study hard enough or turn in their homework.

Shoot back. Next stupid question?

BINGO

My first thought exactly.

How about they allow professors to carry open?

I always thought that if a Texan couldn’t handle a gun by the age of 18, they escorted them to the state’s border giving them bus fare to anywhere else that isn’t Texas.

Where did she grow up to miss the Texas gun culture? My guess is in most liberal area in the suburbs of Austin.

lady, learn what concealed carry is then get back to us.

Did I read that right? What is Texas Woman’s University? Should I be angry or should I be offended? And why?

Because it’s woman’s college and she seems like the kind to stereotype groups of people.

“Tried by 6 instead of carried by 12”? So, you’re saying you’re a little on the hefty side? ;)
