Bert Posted January 31, 2016 Author Share Posted January 31, 2016 If I had a kid in college, I would be thrilled if a uniformed (or even under cover) was in their class(es). I am starting to think the dumbest in our society are some of our own academia as oxymoronic as that sounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDEaston Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I didn't read the article yet, so I don't know the specifics, but this sounds absurd. Without reading it, I assume this young man is an active police officer that has graduated the academy and has proper training? If so, what would make this any different than a school resource officer in high school's, etc? Other than the fact he was told to leave of course... I graduated high school in 2001, throughout my entire life there was almost always armed police officers roaming the halls and not just at the high school. In grade school we had D.A.R.E officers, in middle school and high school we had resource officers. Guess what, they didn't leave their guns in the car before entering the school.

sportsfan41 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I'm guessing this professor had their tenure already..... Sounds like a dumb political move. The next question the media needs to ask is, why was race an issue in all of this? I'm sure it was, because that's the state of our country more and more these days. There's way too much ignorance flying around out there right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigVMan23 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Really? I mean...really? Can a proff even do that? If I was the officer, I would have told the proff to really really think about what he's asking...using some real critical thinking skills, which I don't think they teach in school anymore unfortunately.

spindoc Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 No question about it. http://bluegrasspreps.com/controversial-issues/would-we-better-316373.html Yes. And I still feel the same as I stated in the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 No question about it. http://bluegrasspreps.com/controversial-issues/would-we-better-316373.html Cut them out of the loop? Do you mean eliminate them? No, that would be bad, I just wish more of our intellectuals also had at least a hint of common sense because it seems along with the normal curriculum of the course, students also seem to be getting indoctrinated in such stupidity as this article, not sure what can be done about that. I saw plenty of such at Bellarmine but was able to think and reason for myself after I graduated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems Darton's statement seems to affirm that they were wrong in his removal, legally at least. Of course I don't know the laws regarding that, but it sure would have been nice had the officer refused, knowing the law (assuming that's correct) and the professor was at liberty to leave instead.

75center Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 The college does allow law enforcement to carry guns on campus and has apologized to the officer and met with staff to review Georgia law and college policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have loved the cop to get a little irate in this instance, look at the proff, and say "make me". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportsfan41 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 And then the "Out of control cop goes off on professor" videos would've been all over the national news. Wouldn't have mattered why the officer went off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All too often colleges major in the minors and minor in the majors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
