Talk about guns on CCSU campus, visit the police.

“On October 3, 2008, …..Wahlberg and his group chose to discuss school violence due to recent events such as the Virginia Tech shootings that occurred in 2007. Shortly after his professor, Paula Anderson, filed a complaint with the CCSU Police against her student. During the presentation Wahlberg made the point that if students were permitted to conceal carry guns on campus, the violence could have been stopped earlier in many of these cases. He also touched on the controversial idea of free gun zones on college campuses……That night at work, Wahlberg received a message stating that the campus police “requested his presence”.


Maybe the professors at CCSU need to be checked for backbone prior to being allow to teach. What is happening when college students can not talk about anything that might be deemed controversial?

Reminds me of the elementary schools where you can get suspended for having a picture of a gun.

College, where you can openly and freely discuss anything, so long as it's politically correct. How freaking pathetic.

The comments on the source article make it look like it's a site full of conservatards who have been infected with the mostly-false "liberal speech codes at universities" meme.

Wow. Witness the new lefts police state.

Discuss politically unpopular ideas and get hauled in and questioned by the police.

What a sad state that our institutions of “higher education” have come to.

Free and open exchange of ideas, as long as they echo the campus establishment

All about free speech so long as it’s about the Left’s agenda. Free speech and civil rights go out the window once the matter at hand is not “certified” content.

If a professor did this on a left issue, we’d be reading about them being suspended from their job.

“After all, a university campus is a place for the free and open exchange of ideas.”

No, not really. It hasn’t been the case for decades. That statement only applies to a particular set of “right ideas”. If you expect otherwise, you are a little naive. I hope things work out for him.

@ “After all, a university campus is a place for the free and open exchange of ideas.”

Not anymore, I’m afraid. A university campus is now a place where you are indoctrinated into Liberal Orthodoxy.

“After all, a university campus is a place for the free and open exchange of ideas.”

Keep on thinking that, let us know how it works out.

Don't get me wrong. I agree that the professor and police's action was 100% wrong, but can't really muster much sympathy when conservatards use it as a means to spread lies about academia.

Could you please identify the lies in your quoted remarks?

And could you please explain what you mean by "conservatards"?
