Marker-pointing Gets Professor Canned

Now this is sensitivities run amok.

The five-minute demonstration at Emmanuel College on Wednesday, two
days after a student killed 32 people on the Virginia Tech campus, included a
discussion of gun control, whether to respond to violence with violence, and the
public's "celebration of victimhood," said the professor, Nicholas
Winset.


During the demonstration, Winset pretended to shoot some students.
Then one student pretended to shoot Winset to illustrate his point that the
gunman might have been stopped had another student or faculty member been
armed.


So he pretended to kill students with a marker and it got him fired? I think Emmanuel college should review the 1st Amendment of the Constitution again. Or maybe Emmanuel College would rather no one discusses this thing at all. Ah, censorship in the Ivory Tower.
