“Winset, who taught financial accounting, told the Boston Herald. He said administrators had asked the faculty to engage students on the issue.”

OK, on the other thread/article, absolutely no info was given about his “profession” or class.

If admin pushed for discussion, he may have been OK.

However, as “financial accounting”, I don’t see the relevency to campus shootings or even contemporary issues.

So I’m up and down on this firing. More detail and maybe I could come to a better conclusion. It’s looking hairy right now.

Our universities are creating and sending forth a generation of panty-waists.

Bill Bennett has been talking about getting together a conservative online university. I’m in a book club that I’ve enjoyed and I’ve been thinking lately how nice it would be to take online classes with a group of others taking the same one at the same time. A group kind of like my book club. You get input from a qualified professor, and get “class” discussion with others.

What this Professor is saying, if one other student had a gun it could have prevented a lot of deaths. But defense is against liberal law and therefore he got fired.

Just curious; If one student did have a gun and took out wacko boy before he killed his second victim, would that student have been suspended or expelled for carrying a concealed weapon onto campus?

You cannot let fear stop you from speaking the truth.

And yet, this V. Tech professor, Nikki Giovanni, is still spewing her racist vitriol... Whatta country.
