Jessica Smartt Gullion, an assistant professor at the Texas Womans University, has decided that allowing students to carry concealed weapons would force the schools educators to give students higher grades than they deserve.
On August 1st, the states 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, isnt 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...

RIIIIGHT! Like grade inflation in high schools and colleges isn’t rampant already. No one grades on a curve anymore because of fears that the grades they get from their students at the end of the year will affect their employment. (Yes, the students get to grade their teachers at the end of the year and the reports go to department heads)
My grandson graduated from high school cum laude. I was very happy for him when I heard of it. After I went to the separate ceremony for honor students and found out that 67% of the graduating students won honors, not so much.
If I need to scare some buzzards off a gut wagon,I now know who to call.
I expect that conservatives and Christians get fewer “A’s” than other groups.
Hmmm, if your students wanted to kill you because of a grade what would stop them from using some other means? Stupidity run amok.
Id punch her, akin to Id hit it, but totally different!
A haiku:
Fist connects with face
I hit it, but not like Laz
Stupid snowflake girl
Nice um...shirt.
doh I’m on my mobile, ment tried by 12 carried by 6.
Thanks for the haiku. They always pep me up and lighten the tone.
I need that today. I can’t get into haiku mode with current events as they are.
Exactly the reason you can’t trust liberals/progressives. They think it would be normal to be shot for something they want and would probably do it.
It is the Orange shirt campaign, a Marxist campaign that says CCWs are like hunters in the woods and people need to wear Orange as a result. Of course it makes them easier target for terrorists they will not pursue, but this is part of the sick “creative” mind dumbing language of the left. Besides Orange is the new black.
yep. total projection from a quid pro quo school teacher who is probably a pedophile wanting sex for grades.
In a way, it’s a bit refreshing to hear a professor say she’s afraid of her students. Too often, these petty tyrants rule the classroom with an iron fist to force their BS leftist views down the throats of students, threatening failure for any dissent. Of course, if she’s worried about being shot, she could either resign or start carrying herself.
Then if you shoot the teacher make it a automatic fail. Unless the teacher goes sudden jihad on the class.
It looks like Brucella Jenner.
It needs to put the lotion on its face.
Yes, you didn’t sound like your usual self today. Totally understandable. Not sure where they found such a large handbasket, but here we are.
Well, if she’s that liberal, she probably gives mostly A’s anyway. Anything else would be “raisis.”
Send her to a re-education camp and if she keeps running her mouth, fire her. Make sure you document with a counseling session - that’s the re-education.
I thought like, it was only eeeeevil testosterone which made people aggressive.
Just how unhinged are these female students anyway?
(And besides, they can't touch *her*. She's not part of the patriarchy!)
Instead of only boosting the grades of those who aren’t among the “White Privilege” crowd?
Oh, puleeeeeze. Bless your heart. :-)
