Winning, U of Utah student fights back and wins

Congrats to a University of Utah student who took action--and won.
Despite the fact that Utah is one of ten states that allows for campus carry, the instructor claimed she had the right to “restrict elements of the Second Amendment” in the class, adding that bringing a gun to class is “absurd, anti-social, and frightening behavior.”

The professor created a bizarre “Second Amendment Zone… that does not include a desk, because desks are reserved for students who respect the personal and psychological safety of their classmates and instructor.”

This absurdity did not sit well with at least one student. The 23-year old concealed carry permit holder, who asked to remain anonymous for fear of retaliation, alerted a friend who then contacted Utah State Representative Karianne Lisonbee. Rep. Lisonbee was on the phone immediately with officials at the University of Utah who took swift action against the instructor.

In a statement provided to the NRA, a University of Utah spokesman said the instructor was forced to redact the syllabus and apologize to students. Officials also removed the instructor from any teaching this semester.

The university said the class syllabus “violated both state law and university policy.
Thanks for standing up for gun rights. Your action caused this anti-gun grad student to be removed from teaching duties and subjected to academic discipline.
You can fool all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time...and those are pretty good odds.

Why not have a first amendment zone where students can only speak freely and practice religion freely in the corner of the room? We wouldn't want words and practices to jeopardize the mental health of other students.
