UH Faculty: Steer Clear Of Certain Topics In Class If Students Are Armed

By James England

HOUSTON, TEXAS — The University of Houston is going completely the wrong direction in terms of advising its faculty to “drop” certain conversation topics in their curriculum. Ostensibly, this is because it is now legal for students and faculty to carry concealed firearms on campus. The real reason is that the despite the ban on concealed carry on campus being lifted, administrators and educators don’t want to educate themselves on what it means to be a law abiding concealed carrier.

Limiting the conversation that takes place at colleges and universities is dumb. The Houston Chronicle wrote up a very interesting article where they explore how the University of Houston is advising its faculty to censor themselves for fear of reprisals from a newly armed campus. This isn’t how concealed carry works. If educators and administrators educated themselves on precisely what it means to be directly responsible for your own safety, this wouldn’t be an issue. Instead of handling the reality that some of their students will now have a legal right to protect themselves on campus, they’re choosing to act like little children instead.
