A graduate assistant at the University of Utah has been reassigned from teaching a class this semester after handing out a syllabus that said bringing a concealed carry gun to class “is absurd, antisocial, and frightening behavior” and that any of her students who have one — even if permitted — would be forced to stand in a “3x3 taped square” in the back of the classroom. “This zone also does not include a desk, because desks are reserved for students who respect the personal and psychological safety of their classmates and instructor,” reads a copy of the course outline.

If a shooter enters the building tell the graduate student that you will defend the 2nd Amendment Zone.

“‘Academia’ is ruled by lunatics.”

Unfortunately for too many years, we’ve allowed these lunatics to teach our children, and we are seeing the results in spades today. We would be ahead of the game to close our “institutions of higher learning” for 5 years ( physical sciences and engineering accepted), run off every last f*cking “professor” and force them all wash dishes and clean toilets for the rest of their “working lives!”

Would he dare insult any other student group this way?

What she really wants is for the “second amendment zone” to be enclosed by steel bars.

At least in Utah there might be a ray of hope, seeing as how they were “reassigned”. (Hmm - maybe to cleaning the toilets!?)

Unless there’s a metal detector at the door this is pretty silly.

The whole point of carrying a concealed weapon is that no one knows you’re carrying a concealed weapon, right?

Anyone in the class legally carrying should have stood in the square for a big payday down the line. Ka-Ching!

How exactly does Instructor Snowflake intend to “force” an armed person to comply with her absurd directives?

What if the armed student in question refused to comply?

I guess two things hit my mind:

- Why let on that one is carrying concealed?

- Why agree to stand in the spot - make the illegal actors take actions and fight the crap.

“She should Date an Illegal Invader living in Iowa.”

No need to leave Utah to do that as the illegal-friendly state has many thousands of its own. Watch the Salt Lake City TV stations for a week and decide it that’s a good thing or a bad thing.

Social Justice types like this snowflake are eventually going to have to be rounded up and jailed or deported. They won’t change, I hope people realize that. They are going to get increasingly more shrill and turn even more violent.

“Then she would taunt him a second time.”

Or fart in his or her general direction.
