[Vision2020] Guns and puppies

By going back to the sane and sensible position that firearms aren't allowed
on campus, which has worked perfectly fine in Idaho until now.

How would the professors know if students are carrying a concealed weapons
(whether legally or illegally)?  Metal detectors at the classroom entrances?

Well, I don't suppose we should expect you to be logically coherent or
honest, should we?

 

A professor refusing to be in a classroom or office with someone carrying a
firearm is absolutely NO different than a pharmacist refusing to sell legal
contraceptives or a doctor refusing to provide a legal medical service, and
I think you know that.  And, it's certainly no different than the so-called
conscience clause "legal discrimination" laws the GOP & TPers have been
working overtime to try to ram down the throats of the sane amongst us.

 

But, acknowledging that would show you for the rank hypocrite most of us
already know you to be.  So, go ahead, Gary . . . break out of your mold and
give honesty a try!

Professors do have a "conscience clause." They are not forced to carry and
they are free to never go any place that they fear a firearm might be.
Conscience protection affects what you do, not what others do. Such a clause
protects a pharmacist from being forced to sell abortafactants but does not
prevent his customers from acquiring them elsewhere or even possessing/using
them in his presence. A doctor can refuse to end a child's life in the womb
but he can't force a woman to carry it to term. It would seem that a great
many folks most enjoy rules, laws, & clauses when there is an outcome that
can be inflicted on others.

I read something about that, too.  I know there are always two sides to
every story, but I was disappointed at the roadblocks being thrown up
for such a worthy project.

With respect to guns in classrooms, a friend brought up what I thought
was an interesting point:  why don't professors have conscience clause
protection?  I mean, the GOP is all for conscience clauses in all kinds
of insane situations, so why don't they extend that to professors?  That
would actually make a lot more sense than all the arenas where the GOP
advocates them.

But, I guess that answers my own question, doesn't it:  it would make
sense, and making sense isn't a skill the "modern" GOP and TPers seem to
exhibit very often.
