<div dir="ltr"><div>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 <span>abortafactants</span> 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.</div>

With respect to guns in classrooms, a friend brought up what I thought<br>
was an interesting point: why don't professors have conscience clause<br>
protection? I mean, the GOP is all for conscience clauses in all kinds<br>
of insane situations, so why don't they extend that to professors? That<br>
would actually make a lot more sense than all the arenas where the GOP<br>
advocates them.<br>
<br>
But, I guess that answers my own question, doesn't it: it would make<br>
sense, and making sense isn't a skill the "modern" GOP and TPers seem to<br>
exhibit very often.<br>
