TX: Colleges criticized over free speech issues

Must not mention guns:
"Some Tarrant County College students wanted to wear empty gun holsters to school because they wanted the right to carry concealed handguns on campus - with a license. A Young Conservatives student group at Lone Star College's Tomball campus wanted to hand out a tongue-in-cheek `Top-Ten Gun Safety Tips.'

At both schools, administrators told the groups to stop or risk campus sanctions. `They're unusual in several respects. But most especially because they involve attempts to discuss in a perhaps insensitive, but basically humorous fashion the issue of guns on campus.' That's Bob O'Neil, the director of the Thomas Jefferson Center for the Protection of Free Expression. The Center gave annual `Muzzle Awards' to both schools."

They are afraid of empty holsters when in reality they should be afraid of leftwing students.

Look at what they did to Tancredo.

... the winning quote at the bottom of ths source:

"A Tarrant County College spokesman didn't want to be recorded for broadcast, but he told me the issue for the college was campus safety. No one would know for sure whether the gun holsters were empty or not."

Perhaps they should have a quick course in gun recognition. They could do it Sesame Street style - which of these things is not like the other.... Maybe then they could tell the difference between a "gun" and a "nothing is there."

---Are these people retarded? You don't even need a permit to wear a holster! There's no holster control! Ask any stripper that wears a holster with toy guns!
