A Minnesota university has suspended one of its graduate students who sent two e-mail messages to school officials supporting gun rights.
Hamline University also said that master's student Troy Scheffler, who owns a firearm, would be barred from campus and must receive a mandatory "mental health evaluation" after he sent an e-mail message arguing that law-abiding students should be able to carry firearms on campus for self-defense.
Hamline spokesman Jacqueline Getty declined on Wednesday to answer questions about the suspension, saying that federal privacy laws prohibited the school from commenting. Scheffler had previously waived his privacy rights in a letter to Hamline University President Linda Hanson.

What freedom of speech? This is like stalinist russia. You are called insane if you disagree with leftist dogma.

The suspension alone is unbelievable. But the mental health examination?????
What in the world are these people thinking? It is simply beyond comprehension.

Did the freaking former Soviet Union simply move its headquarters to the United States? Unbelievable!

>> he should sue..period!!
On what grounds? It’s a private university. They’re allowed to be as dysfunctional as their alumni allow.
To: Red in Blue PA
"...must receive a mandatory "mental health evaluation"... Good Gravy!!! Are these sociologists actually equating Mr. Scheffler with the Virgina Tech massacre madman!?!?!
Or....is this more Social Engineering to "rid" law-abiding, CCW citizens of their beliefs in Right-to-Self-Defense ???

I’d like a bit more information before leaping to this guy’s defense.
Especially full copies of the two emails.

Sue them into oblivion. I think a good lawyer could destroy the school’s case in a courtroom.
