University of Texas dean to quit over gun law

"I thought I would be responsible for enforcing a law I don't believe in," said Mr Steiner, who has been at the school since 2001. He says he plans to return to the University of Pennsylvania, but not until the law is passed in August."

Good for him. Now maybe the school can get a real educator to replace him rather then some one trying to shove an anti-American agenda on young people.

 

[Grotius]

It's sort of amazing, actually, this attitude of "It can't happen here".

40 years ago? I may have agreed that firearms have no place in a University classroom. But in 2016? Given Virginia Tech, school shootings in High Schools across the US, and the mass shootings at the Oregon Community College a few months ago?

Any university administrator would have to be willfully blind and ignorant, irrationally engaging in magical thinking, to insist that such an event could not happen at their university.

And people who delude themselves with magical thinking don't need to be running universities in 2016.

We don't live in Mayberry any more, Andy ain't the Sheriff, and Opie gone bad.

WHAT??? Another lib is leaving Texas??
I am so sad

 

[Fillzee]

Wow, this law might make tons of liberal students and professors leave/not come. I am sure going to miss them!

I believe the popular term with today's youth is "bye Felicia"

 

[SnakeRanch]

Like I said to my ex wife's lawyer. And thank you for leaving, bitch.

Let's do some math today in class kids.

How many crazy people have shot up schools where the school was a GUN FREE KILL ZONE?

Compare that with how many schools have had whacko shooters WHERE CONCEALED CARRY IS PERMITTED and a large number carry.


Some internet savvy person look up the ratio. I'd bet 50 to 1 or better. Maybe 100 to 1...

 

[Ian Treloar]

I feel sorry for Pennsylvania.

He was a carpetbagger anyway.

It's time he was sent packing. He teaches agriculture. I'm sure we can find someone at the real agriculture school, A&M, to switch schools and teach the young farmers.

Seriously, a guy who teaches farming and is scared of guns? What was he growing? Tulips?

 

[miketx]

Maybe he is the Pied Piper.

 

[Straza]

Now if only the rest of his ilk would leave my city...maybe traffic wouldn't be so bad

The irony here is that legal gun owners are allowed to carry on universities in PA, and have been for years.

[kokosmom2]

staff at the University of Houston have warned professors there to be careful discussing sensitive topics and drop them from the curriculum if they "sense anger" from students who may be armed.

Geez, what is wrong with these people? I hope all these liberals go back to where they belong...out of TX

Don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya!

Obviously a limp wrister

:rofl:


I guess the standards to become a "Dean" aren't what they used to be. :taped:

 

[Pitbull_Dallas]

Well, unfortunately UT is another liberal bastion and it doesn't bother me at all that he is leaving and others are whining. I also noticed that instructors at UH have been told not to discuss "sensitive" topics if they detect anger among the students. That just might be an unintended benefit of the gun law.
