[DonP]

1. Great, now we'll all see how strongly they stand by their convictions

If they don't all voluntarily resign on principle as an act of civil disobedience, we'll all know how serious they really are about it.

[shenmue]

2. I just love this group

[Duckhunter935]

26. I am sure they all will quit

[GGJohn]

3. Now, let's see if they have the courage of their conviction by resigning

when the UT state legislature doesn't change the law.

[beevul]

4. The classrooms belong to the school not the teacher...

The classrooms belong to the school not the teacher, and if the school accepts so much as a red cent of public money, they belong to the citizenry.

In any case, the teachers do not own the classroom, you included.

[stone space]

5. "163 UT Faculty REFUSE Guns in Our Classrooms"

[beevul]

6. So what? N/T

[stone space]

7. So I stand with them, not with the NRA. (nt)

[GGJohn]

8. So you stand with the criminals? eom.

[stone space]

9. Criminals? Exactly who are you talking about?

I know who I'm talking about.

[GGJohn]

10. If those 163 faculty members are refusing to let firearms into their classrooms,

despite it being legal, then they're breaking the law, ergo, they're criminals.

[stone space]

11. The 163 faculty are criminals? What are you even doing here on DU?

[GGJohn]

12. Again, you can't seem to answer a simple question.

Are they or are they not engaging in criminal activity by refusing admission to their classrooms by students legally carrying a concealed weapon as deemed by state law?

[stone space]

13. No. I'd cancel class the moment I believe that there are guns present.

That is my moral duty to my students.

[GGJohn]

14. Then you would be subject to sanctions by the university for violating state law. eom.

[stone space]

15. You really want a purge, don't you? (nt)

[GGJohn]

16. Hardly.

Teachers have to obey the law just a the regular citizen does, they're not some special class of citizen, if they violate the law, then they face the consequences.
It's as simple as that.

[beevul]

17. I'm actually starting to think that the anti-gun folks...

I'm actually starting to think that the anti-gun folks actually DO believe themselves to be some special class of citizen.

Observe how they behave.

[Duckhunter935]

28. I know, right

[Nuclear Unicorn]

22. Then your department should be stripped of all public funding.

[stone space]

23. Wow! Why should my Department be stripped of all public funding?

Then your department should be stripped of all public funding.

That would destroy the entire Math Department.

All of our funding is public here. We're a State University.

[Nuclear Unicorn]

24. If you violate the law and deny students their rights you should forfeit public funding.

Just the same as a professor who violates civil rights law because he didn't approve of a students gender, religion of skin color. If you disapprove of who we are as people you can stop taking our money.

[stone space]

25. But you're talking about TOTAL DESTRUCTION here. Defunding entire departments. (nt)

[Duckhunter935]

29. Not really

If the faculty follows the law and teaches the courses the are being PAID to teach using public money, nothing would be affected in education. You seem to want destroy it by not following the law and denying the rights of the students.

[stone space]

30. Defunding entire Departments at State Universities would destroy Higher Education. (nt)

[GGJohn]

31. Well then, the solution is simple,

don't violate state law or rights.

[stone space]

33. So you expect university faculty to give in to Armed Blackmail? (nt)

[GGJohn]

35. What armed blackmail?

Is someone blackmailing them with a firearm?
If so, then they need to call the cops.

[stone space]

36. "Allow guns or we'll destroy your State University by defunding the Departments."

Yeah, what you are suggesting at tantamount to Armed Bulling.

[GGJohn]

37. ...

I said the simple solution is to obey state law and not trample on other's rights.

[Nuclear Unicorn]

43. How about, "Violate the rights of others and get treated like every other rights violator."

[DonP]

32. I'm pretty sure that's the same argument Ole Miss used in the 60's

[stone space]

34. Huh? (nt)

[DonP]

38. Walk over to the history department and ask a TA for help

[Duckhunter935]

39. Yes, we fully understand

You would fail to understand. Your hatred tends to blind you.

[Lurks Often]

18. The faculty are subject to the same laws as everyone else

Last edited Tue Oct 13, 2015, 02:30 PM - Edit history (1)

If Texas law allows CCW on campus and in classrooms, then the faculty has NO LEGAL means to prevent students, faculty and other university employees from exercising their RIGHT under Texas law.

[pablo_marmol]

19. If "gun nuts" are as violent and evil as you claim.......

......why are you publishing the names of staff/instructors that they (allegedly) would go after?

Pick a story and stick with it SS.

Most egregious display of wasted bandwidth I've ever witnessed.

[stone space]

21. I don't understand you here.

the names of staff/instructors that they (allegedly) would go after?

Should these Professors cower in fear, instead of standing up for their rights?

[GGJohn]

27. No, they should obey the law and not infringe on others rights. eom

[gejohnston]

40. what makes them different than Kim Davis?

They are public employees trying to prevent people from exercising a right protected by the Constitution, in this case what John Locke called a natural right. That makes them no different than her.

[stone space]

41. Kim Davis would have every right to ban guns from her office.

what makes them different than Kim Davis?

Even homophobes have rights.

You don't get to shoot people just because you disagree with them.

And that includes Kim Davis.

[gejohnston]

42. you missed the point

but I think you knew that. These teachers are acting like Kim Davis. But at least Kim Davis wouldn't take their money either. These teachers are taking the students' money and then not providing the service.

[Nuclear Unicorn]

44. "You don't get to shoot people just because you disagree with them."

And yet, every call for gun confiscation by the grabbers who cannot muster a single, civil word of dialogue invariably devolves to --

[friendly_iconoclast]

45. "Even homophobes have rights." True- but they *don't* have the right to break the law

Especially not on the public's dime.

While you're here, I've got a research question for you, Stoney:

Washington State, Utah, and Alaska allow CCW holders to legally carry on state college
campuses, and have for years.

Since you're so *very* sure that this practice poses a deadly threat to college instructors,
would you be so kind as to post those instances where a CCW holder shot a teacher
in a college in those states?

[ileus]

20. 480+ we like being easy victims volunteers.

Every one should get the right to decide if their life is worth protecting or not.
