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.

480+ UT PROFESSORS OPPOSE GUNS IN THEIR CLASSROOMS [View all] stone space Oct 2015 OP

Great, now we'll all see how strongly they stand by their convictions DonP Oct 2015 #1

I just love this group shenmue Oct 2015 #2

I am sure they all will quit Duckhunter935 Oct 2015 #26

The classrooms belong to the school not the teacher... beevul Oct 2015 #4

"163 UT Faculty REFUSE Guns in Our Classrooms" stone space Oct 2015 #5

So what? N/T beevul Oct 2015 #6

So I stand with them, not with the NRA. (nt) stone space Oct 2015 #7

So you stand with the criminals? eom. GGJohn Oct 2015 #8

Criminals? Exactly who are you talking about? stone space Oct 2015 #9

If those 163 faculty members are refusing to let firearms into their classrooms, GGJohn Oct 2015 #10

The 163 faculty are criminals? What are you even doing here on DU? stone space Oct 2015 #11

Again, you can't seem to answer a simple question. GGJohn Oct 2015 #12

No. I'd cancel class the moment I believe that there are guns present. stone space Oct 2015 #13

Then you would be subject to sanctions by the university for violating state law. eom. GGJohn Oct 2015 #14

You really want a purge, don't you? (nt) stone space Oct 2015 #15

Hardly. GGJohn Oct 2015 #16

Wow! Why should my Department be stripped of all public funding? stone space Oct 2015 #23

If you violate the law and deny students their rights you should forfeit public funding. Nuclear Unicorn Oct 2015 #24

But you're talking about TOTAL DESTRUCTION here. Defunding entire departments. (nt) stone space Oct 2015 #25

Not really Duckhunter935 Oct 2015 #29

Defunding entire Departments at State Universities would destroy Higher Education. (nt) stone space Oct 2015 #30

Well then, the solution is simple, GGJohn Oct 2015 #31

So you expect university faculty to give in to Armed Blackmail? (nt) stone space Oct 2015 #33

What armed blackmail? GGJohn Oct 2015 #35

I'm pretty sure that's the same argument Ole Miss used in the 60's DonP Oct 2015 #32

Huh? (nt) stone space Oct 2015 #34

Walk over to the history department and ask a TA for help DonP Oct 2015 #38

Yes, we fully understand Duckhunter935 Oct 2015 #39

The faculty are subject to the same laws as everyone else Lurks Often Oct 2015 #18

If "gun nuts" are as violent and evil as you claim....... pablo_marmol Oct 2015 #19

I don't understand you here. stone space Oct 2015 #21

No, they should obey the law and not infringe on others rights. eom GGJohn Oct 2015 #27

what makes them different than Kim Davis? gejohnston Oct 2015 #40

Kim Davis would have every right to ban guns from her office. stone space Oct 2015 #41
