Fairfax, VA – -(Ammoland.com)- In an outrageous attempt to punish anyone exercising their Second Amendment rights, a University of Utah instructor tried to isolate concealed carry holders by forcing them into a tiny corner in the back of the classroom.
The unnamed graduate teaching assistant told her students on the first day of class this week that anyone carrying a firearm would be forced to stand in a “3 x 3 taped square on the floor in the very back of the classroom.”
Despite the fact that Utah is one of ten states that allows for campus carry, the instructor claimed she had the right to “restrict elements of the Second Amendment” in the class, adding that bringing a gun to class is “absurd, anti-social, and frightening behavior.”
The professor created a bizarre “Second Amendment Zone… that does not include a desk, because desks are reserved for students who respect the personal and psychological safety of their classmates and instructor.”
This absurdity did not sit well with at least one student. The 23-year old concealed carry permit holder, who asked to remain anonymous for fear of retaliation, alerted a friend who then contacted Utah State Representative Karianne Lisonbee. Rep. Lisonbee was on the phone immediately with officials at the University of Utah who took swift action against the instructor.
In a statement provided to the NRA, a University of Utah spokesman said the instructor was forced to redact the syllabus and apologize to students. Officials also removed the instructor from any teaching this semester.
The university said the class syllabus “violated both state law and university policy.
“I am very pleased with how it turned out,” said Lisonbee. “I am very pleased the university handled it so quickly.”
Before the instructor could remove her syllabus from her class website, the anonymous tipster grabbed a screenshot of it as evidence of her outrageous anti-gun bias.

And what is with that University having “free speech zones” that the libtard was emulating with her “2A Zone” ? What gives with an institution of higher learning telling their students to go down to the free speech zone if they have something to say. That sounds like something out of the post 911 Bush administration that will not “tolerate outrageous conspiracy theories”, especially of the kind that puts him in the know about what was to happen.
Just call them what they really are: “Assault Democrats”.
Her parents must have taught her wrong. Maybe she will wise up when she gets older.
She really is a stupid teacher as well as a stupid person. If I were her I wouldn’t be telling armed persons where, nor how, to sit. Because any person knows that a person with a concealed firearm can sit ANY damn where they choose. And her illegal “legislation of classroom gun laws” further shows her ignorance and bias against legal CCW
This teacher should be made to stand out in the hall. LMAO ROFL
Sensitivity training, firearms classes & range time should be mandatory for this snowflake…And stand in the 3′ square daily for the duration of the semester while holding a unloaded Ruger Super Red Hawk with 9-1/2″ barrel @ 4# plus

It should be abundantly clear by now that the left are not “fellow Americans”
I would like to. Know who the instructor was
The instructor was a Teaching Assistant (TA) which means she was a graduate student at the University being paid to assist a Professor in teaching his/her class.
No mention of Utah liberal instructor being fired or loosing pay for violation of student’s civil rights or violating University policy or state law. Can’t be too mean to liberal instructors.
Hooray for the quick thinking student who gathered evidence on the fly.
When these communist teachers put there tyranny in writing……COPY IT !!!
When these communist teachers spout their tyranny in the classroom…….RECORD IT !!!
Then bring them into account just like this student did with the appropriate authorities news media,
social media, and any other organization that can help bring this sort of thing to a stop.
