Opinion
Deadly Campus:
American young adults going off to college are quickly submerged in modern higher-education leftist/woke political agenda.
Of course, with leftists, there is never any “debate.” You’re required to embrace their woke agenda or be shown the door unconditionally. They smugly promote “diversity” in everything but opinion!
Yet, buying into a naive, leftist agenda has proven fatal for many innocent college students on campus, and recently!
Summary of leftist dogma in which young college students are required to have unquestioning faith:
- “Nice people” don’t own guns. Guns are “ishey!” Having (or Heaven-forbid, carrying) any species of gun is unthinkable.
- Freedom and liberty are outmoded concepts. We’ll make all your personal security decisions for you. Your input is neither solicited nor entertained.
- We have conveniently declared our campus “safe.” We say so. Reality is irrelevant! We have “campus police,” CCTV cameras, and “blue” phones. Murders/rapes of innocent, defenseless-by-policy students are “rare” (but not so “rare” for actual victims of murder, rape)
- Cell phones always work, so emergency help is ever “just a phone call away.”
- Nothing to worry about! We’re watching out for you, so you don’t even need to think about taking logical steps to protect yourself…, ad nauseam
So much self-serving BS!
In reality, the only thing woke college administrators are “watching out for” is their own cushy jobs! Students are expendable.
Doubt that at your peril!

Too often, we tar with too broad of a brush. Educators at all levels, K-12, undergrad and graduate, want their students to succeed and to survive. The assumption that professors are all anti’s or are unwilling to research the problem is false. If I recall correctly, John Lott got his start as a professor. Survey Research requires large numbers of participants to have statistical meaning. You have to have a representative sample of the population. Self selected populations tend toward one direction. That is why randomly selected participants are preferred. But how many of us refuse to participate when asked?… Read more »
The campuses in my state (SD) are gun-free only by Board of Regents policy – no faculty, staff or student can carry on campus by edict of HR policies. Those have no effect on everyone else in the state. So John Q. Public could legally walk across campus with a slung AR, and there’s nothing other than politely asking him to leave can be done. No law is broken.
That is NOT what Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero means. As in, not even close. There is nothing about tomorrow not arriving.
THIS is what “carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero,” translates as: “seize the day, trusting as little as possible in the next one.”
Horace was on point, however.
When I was in high school we took our guns to school in our vehicles so we could go shooting after school and no one got shot or hurt . When we had disagreements we settled them with a fist fight and again nobody got shot or brought thier gun in the school and tried to shoot other students . All this anti gun rhetoric seams to do is encourage the opposite of what they intend . These anti gunners promote more violence through thier hollow policies and lies than reality did when I was growing up .
perhaps a “professor” or PhD candidate of one of these institutions of higher learning can come up with some research/statistics/data that can demonstrate beyond a reasonable doubt their claims that no firearms make you more safe. or as i call it, the wishing safety program. trouble in education is that children are taught what to think instead of how to think. thinking outside the box is frowned upon. group think, now that is what is embraced, along with diversity, but not diversity of thought, that is repugnant. i talk everyday with my grandson in 2nd grade and we discuss how… Read more »
No sympathy for anyone who expects others to protect them. While refusing to allow those same people the tools to do so and refusing to protect themselves.
