Gary Aldrich MEGA-PING!

A question for OU officials: How many students were shot last year with inoperable Civil War relics? How many female students were mugged, battered, robbed, or raped? How many of those innocent victims were allowed, or even encouraged to defend themselves?

These school administrators are living in a pre 9-11 world where passivity and non-violence are the answer to everything. Aldrich bump.

I think her name was del vecchio or something.

Going after the football team's cannon is a brilliant move. How lucky that such a thing exists. It's a sad commentary on the state of "higher education" in this country, but messing with football traditions will rouse the student body to action like nothing else.

Since the administrators don't stand a chance of firing (without a court reversing) a professor for displaying an inoperable Civil War rifle, while a fully functional cannon is regularly used on campus, they'll either have to drop the matter quickly or face the wrath of mobs of football-crazed students. An added bonus is that this will cement an opposition to idiotic zero-tolerance-for-weapons rules in the minds of all these impressionable youngsters.

The irrationality of the left is downright astonishing. No antique gun on the wall, but the abortion clinic is over at the student health center. Go figure....

But, if they are really concerned about violence...

They aren't, of course. They are concerned about symbology, political power, and stifling and demonizing of dissent. This, in the name of "academic freedom."

[Gritty]

The closest to the old Soviet Union remaining is the modern American University campus!

Don't expect reasoning and common sense from those running these places (nor a lot of the current inmates), much less a fair hearing. It they could get away with it, they would set up "re-education centers" and crematoriums for those they dislike or who disagree with them.
