Hey Nutballs, Hamline University is Open for Slaughter
May 10th, 2007 at 10:12 pm by Preston Taylor HolmesJust in case you weapon-wielding nutcases need another campus to hit, try Hamline University. The students there can’t even talk about firearms without being sent to the school therapist.
Scheffler had a different opinion of how the university should react. Using the email handle “Tough Guy Scheffler,” Troy fired off his response: Counseling wouldn’t make students feel safer, he argued. They needed protection. And the best way to provide it would be for the university to lift its recently implemented prohibition against concealed weapons.
“Ironically, according to a few VA Tech forums, there are plenty of students complaining that this wouldn’t have happened if the school wouldn’t have banned their permits a few months ago,” Scheffler wrote. “I just don’t understand why leftists don’t understand that criminals don’t care about laws; that is why they’re criminals. Maybe this school will reconsider its repression of law-abiding citizens’ rights.”
How dare a student question the wisdom of the Administrators in the Ivory Tower of a University? Scheffler had a lot of nerve talking logic to power.
The consequences were severe. Scheffler wasn’t allowed to participate in a final group project in his course on Human Resources Management, which will have a big impact on his final grade. Even if he’s reinstated, the suspension will go on his permanent record, which could hurt the aspiring law student.
I’m surprised they didn’t send him to therapy for being a white male who owned a firearm. That’s practically criminal these days. That’s almost as bad as having a watergun on the Tennessee State campus. As anyone familiar with TSU knows, you better have a lot more firepower than a watergun to survive in that neighborhood.

There used to be something called Reason. It used to be highly prized on college campuses. Now I’m just a dumb blond with an astigmatism, but I have more sense than that. Sanity is dead too, BTW.

Concealed Carry? You’re Crazy! Get Outta Here!…
Universities are right bastions of tolerance, they are. Six Meat Buffet links to this rebarbative travesty against all common sense, in which, in the wake of the Virginia Tech shootings, a 31-year old grad student with a legal concealed carry……

I like this guy. His emails seemed a little caustic but no reason for the ridiculous response from the campus admins.
They seem to be afflicted by the same Group of 88 syndrome.

For the uninitiated, both the newspaper service and almost any kind of food delivery service refuses to go on the TSU campus because they stand such a great risk of getting robbed or killed as was the case with a Chinese delivery man a year or so ago. A school that implores white students to enroll on a minority scholarship.
On the bright side, you can beat on a trash can and Stomp! to your hearts content. Alpha Phi Alpha, yo.
It just occurred to me that you can’t spell “therapist” without “rapist”.

You’re so cute, Preston, talking about the school down the street from me.
The area that Hamline is in is quite scary about 3 blocks in any direction. The area is known as “crack corridor” and things like that. It’s where you go as a beginning hooker to get your start.
In the full article, he also shuns the campus for giving African students free education even though they plan on returning to Africa. The irony here is that schools, of course, don’t think diversity of OPINION is true diversity.

Hey Feisty…good to see you over here. I miss your blog. Are you FULLY retired, or just retired from blogging?

Feisty – Hamline sounds a lot like TSU. TSU offers those “minority” scholarships out like penny gumballs because with the lack of delivery boys, there isn’t enough diversity of crime victim on campus.

Hamline is a private college that costs 25K/yr or whatever, so for the diversity numbers and the cover of the school brochures, they have to give out some minority scholarships. It’s a private college, so they can give out money to whomever they want, but, giving a full-ride scholarship to people from other countries who don’t wish to work in the US seems a little odd. College students consistently rate “diversity” as a good/positive quality for schools, and I just laugh because no employer looks at someone’s college and says…”Oh, Hamline…that’s a really diverse school—you’re IN!” Only academians care about diversity; everyone else should care about the quality of the professors, their expertise and the overall reputation of the program you’re there for.

Diversity is not what makes America great. Overcoming diversity is what makes America great.
