ALBANY, GA (WALB) - On Wednesday, a police officer was escorted from a classroom at Darton State College.

The officer is a student at the college, and was wearing his full police uniform.

The teacher was reportedly uncomfortable with having a gun in the classroom, and asked the officer to be escorted out.

The university has issued a statement, reading:

"Darton State College is appreciative for the service of our law enforcement, and welcome them as students on our campus. We have apologized to the officer for our misunderstanding when he attended class on our campus, and we regret this happened. We have met with the faculty and staff involved to reiterate the Georgia Law and Darton Policy." - Dr. Thomas Ormond, Interim Provost/VP for Academic & Student Affairs, Darton State College

This hoplophobic professor is at least 1000 times more likely to get killed in a car wreck driving to and from the campus, than by gun violence.

Love guns, but why in hell would he feel a need to be in class in FULL UNIFORM..?

I don’t get it.

[PJBankard]

Probably running late for class immediately after getting off duty.

Fire the stupid bitch first thing Monday morning.

The professor is a MORON.

Or was scheduled for a shift right after class. I know a deputy sheriff who goes to a later class and then reports for his shift.

You serious????? I think post #4 pretty much explained why but I'm surprised you would even have to raise the question........Sheesh

By whom, I wonder. Other cops?

Are you saying he has something to hide?

Please help make FR's voice louder.

By the way folks.  Anyone know what a FReep-a-Thon is?

The same values remain sacred for many of us today.

I’m saying you’re a cop.

[DannyTN]

That expression says it all.

[Las Vegas Ron]

than by gun violence.

No such thing, please do not use the language of the leftist.

Not criticizing, just reminding as it is an easy habit to pick up.

I am teaching an evening class at a local university; there are two sheriff’s deputies who are students, and they will come in full uniform and armed. I am totally unconcerned; they aren’t going to start a gunfight during the lecture.

"Good people sleep peaceably in their bed at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf"(1946)

Attributed to George Orwell but he was paraphrasing an concept dating back to Rudyard Kipling, "Tommy"!

"Yes, makin' mock o' uniforms that guard you while you sleep ..." (1892)

And it was not new then ...

Impossible to hold the teacher in any lower contempt, as low as can possibly go!

You must not be much of a thinker. Ponder this overnight and get back to me. Thank you.

[Secret Agent Man]

Stupid paranoid irrational liberal teacher.

Well now the cop knows what ccw folks feel like from these idiot jokers.

[Alas Babylon!]

Yup! I teach at a university also.

I love it when police students come armed. Makes the place safer for everyone.

Still, even though we have all those “No Guns Allowed” signs all over our buildings, only cops get a pass.

I wish every American could exercise his God given rights at my school.
