In reply to the discussion: I'm thinking of starting my own petition, RE: Colleges and gun law [View all]Duckhunter935
(16,974 posts)69. Well sir, I have worked for the last
35+ years and probably in a lot less cushy places as you. No, I do not want to see you fired, so please do not post outright lies like that.
The context is If you called the armed police on a student that is fully law abiding for doing nothing wrong, you should be fired. I see you still ill not answer how you "think" there might be a firearm in your classroom if was legal withing the state. Since it must be concealed I assume you would have to do some kind of profiling, do you use race or ethnicity, style of dress for that?
Bottom line again do you job and there would be no cause for you to be terminated, fail to follow the law and call for armed police on law abiding students, YES you deserve to be FIRED!

Imposing your personal prejudices on a captive audience isn't education, higher or lower.

You would make sure the cops you call were unarmed when they showed up in your classroom, right? n/t

"I will cancel class immediately and call the police." Simple question: For what legal reason?

Why would the entire department be defunded, instead of merely firing those disobeying the law?
