Quote:More than 1,000 people have RSVP’d to attend an unusual protest at the University of Texas. In protest of a law that permits students to carry concealed weapons on campus, students are going to come to class wielding dildos.
After the legislation was signed into law by Texas Greg Abbot last June, protests at the University located in Austin have garnered national attention. The description for the protest’s event page reads:
Quote:“On June 1, 2015, Gov. Greg Abbott signed S.B. 11, also known as the ‘campus carry’ law. S.B. 11 provides that license holders may carry a concealed handgun throughout university campuses, starting Aug. 1, 2016. The law gives public universities some discretion to regulate campus carry.”
More than 160 professors at the university signed a letter speaking out against the law. One professor even went as far as to resign over the matter. The organizers of the protest want to point out the fact that while it would be perfectly fine for a student to carry a gun into the classroom, bringing a dildo in would get them in trouble. So now students are calling for people to take up the cry #CocksNotGlocks.
Quote:“The State of Texas has decided that it is not at all obnoxious to allow deadly concealed weapons in classrooms, however it DOES have strict rules about free sexual expression, to protect your innocence. You would receive a citation for taking a DILDO to class before you would get in trouble for taking a gun to class. Heaven forbid the penis.”
This protest is absolutely hilarious. American culture is absurd, we glorify violence in our media but vilify sex. This confronts that head on in a creative way. The protest is scheduled to take place on August 24, 2016. The organizers are encouraging everyone to come to the protest, even if they do not attend the University of Texas.
Your anger and ego will always reveal your true self.
Even though I am in favor of gun control I don't have a big problem with people who have jumped through the hoops of getting a concealed carry permit to have their guns on campus.
If the courts and legislature has determined that these people are safe to carry guns then i don't know why a college campus should be excluded.

Yes, fine.
But dildos.

I was wondering when this story was going to show up.

I agree with you, here. Though honestly, sitting with one strapped to you in those desks would not be fun. And adding even more weight to an already overburdened backpack? Danke, aber nein danke.

But they are doing open carry with the dildos. Conceal them (easier for girls) and you don't have a problem.

I don't get the connection. If they're protesting, they should be carrying them outside of plain view. But of course to prove it they'd have to provide some evidence of where they concealed it. Like, a photo. Or maybe 30 seconds of video.
The one way this story would be better: if it was in South Carolina and the protest was going to be at the University of South Carolina.

I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.

I agree. It probably had a lot to do with the schools themselves lobbying for a ban, but that's just a guess.

Add in confederate battle flag dildos and you got something.

We have been desensitized to both. And that's a bad thing on both accounts.
