TWU Prof Says CC will cause GPA inflation

[oldag]

"In a recent opinion piece published in Newsweek, Jessica Gullion, an assistant professor of sociology at Texas Woman's University, warns that allowing students to pack heat in the classroom could add a scary dimension to those after-class discussions about grades.

"Will we soon see a new sort of grade inflation, with students earning a 4.0 GPA with their firepower rather than brainpower?" Gullion wrote.


Gullion recounted being intimidated by one student angry about her grade, and said knowing that angry students might be armed and could "resort to any means necessary" to keep their grades up could prompt professors to hand out easy As.
"Allowing students to carry weapons to class strips off a layer of safety," she wrote. "Students are often emotional and can be volatile when it comes to their GPAs," she wrote. "Who would want to give a student a low grade and then get shot for it?"

"

What a blithering idiot. And she thinks if anyone wants to go postal over a grade, a "gun free zone" would stop that person from illegally bringing a gun? Guess a stabbing would be okay with her?

Sheessshhhh...

All Female School + Guns + PMS = Me not going to their campus

j/k

 

[majormadmax]

Wow, and being an academic I am sure she has done her research and can provide the results to support this hypothesis.

Or, she's just full of shit.

I think it's the latter...

Positive thought.
Maybe campus carry will persuade all the liberal bedwetters to change careers.
We could actually see some conservative professors.

 

[Fyrbyrd80]

Liberal logic at its finest.

 

[Chupacabra Hunter]

Blood in the streets I tell you...

 

[mantawolf]

YES!!! If we get lucky the liberals will decide they are too scared of guns to be wherever they are allowed and maybe they will congregate somewhere else finally...

Like Moscow,,,or the middle east?

 

[Southpaw]

What gets me, is how liberals, with all their arguments about what "could" happen, never seem to come to the conclusion that, perhaps arming themselves would be a possible avenue to explore, if this world is so dangerous.
You hear them spout studies or ideas that gun owners are mentally ill or delusional, but what is more delusional then being so afraid of an inanimate object that you wouldn't even consider using to save you own damn life.

And folks go into debt for life to pay for the privilege of being educat.. er, indoctrinated by these types?
I'd have to ask for a refund.

Now there is some excellent thought!

Increasing the labor supply for fry cooks at Mickey D's I hope.

 

[Saltyag2010]

TWU and BlackPeopleMeet.com have been discriminating against me for years.

I wonder what blackpeoplemeet.com peoe think about guns?

 

[satx78247]

To ALL,

Anyone who has a low enough IQ and/or that little COMMONSENSE isn't bright enough to get out of bed each morning, much less be a professor. = Frankly, I think that she is a KNOWING LIAR & nothing more than that.

ImVho, it's past time to start OPENLY RIDICULING such nitwits, each/every time that they open their BIG mouths.

yours, satx

 

[Bithabus]

Reminds me of this guy

 

[Vec]

un-believable. she is an idiot

How To Be A Victim 101

I'm sure I would want "Jessica Gullion, an assistant professor of sociology at Texas Woman's University" instructing my daughter.

What would she teach? How to be a Victim 101

This is more than a problem in our schools; it is a problem in our country. We are beginning to respect people for being victims.

 

[satx78247]

WTK,

I don't know that she would teach your daughter to be "a victim" BUT likely she would try to convert her into a radical-leftist NITWIT, who has NO commonsense & reflexively "votes the straight Democrat ticket".

In point of fact, LIBs aren't required (or even encouraged) to engage in "cerebral activity"; instead, they just have to "feel about" things.

yours, satx

erya go. fixed it...

damn...and she's studied Sociology of the Apocalypse (why didn't they have that bullshit when I was in school?). She should know a good gat can do some good! I think she's got the ebola.
