What phallic symbol rhymes with Glock?

Imagine if your freshman kiddo is attending UT-Austin, eager to experience the college experience, and encounters a couple thousand of these being handed out in "protest" of CC being legally enabled on campus. Remember, you're paying the bill...

I was going to post some links. However, not only do they depict profane pictures of XXXX's, they're definitely NSFW nor BITOG! Plus, I don't want to get banned. So, search is your friend.

How typical of the irrational, liberal hip/hop/flip/flop set to "counter" with such profanity. That's where their mind is though. It must be extreme, shocking, profane and law-breaking as well. For while CC on campus is legal, the public display of pornography is definitely illegal.

So, once again, who are the law-breakers?

Further, in Tx., you have to be 21 to even apply for CC. That rules out a large proportion of the student body. But then math and critical thinking for this set is their true "endangered species". The problem is criminals could care less about such laws. There's already been several UTA campus shootings.

Guess what one of these snowflakes will whip out when confronted with a cocked & loaded rapist?

Keeping Austin Weird.....very, very weird.

60% of college students have psychiatric disorder. I imagine the numbers are far worst if you look at administrators and faculty. A normal person needs a carbine and armor plates, not a concealed handgun, to enter those nuthouses.

I'm fully 100% behind licensed, legal, concealed carry on college campuses. As seen in Orlando, a gunman can kill 50+ people in a very short amount of time. I'd rather not sit under my desk and wait for a bullet. I am able, capable, and willing to fight back, should the need arise. And there are a lot of folks willing and able to fight back. Handicapping them by making guns "illegal" on college campuses is just asinine.

I agree; there is Austin and then there is the rest of the state. Too many "weird" (and I will let it go at that) things being taught/preached/propagated in schools these days. The supremely scary thing is it is these generation(s) who will decide many of the things in the coming years which will affect large bodies of population.
 
I support the "right" of folks to carry and protect themselves. Most are not trained to do so however. Need to take the good with the bad.

B.S.E.E. and UT-Austin grad myself. I don't recall having much free time at all, much less time to "protest". Didn't have a very positive experience there either. I just wanted to end engineering [censored], graduate and get away from the place.

Texas is a melting pot of different nationalities. Been that way for quite some time.

I think engineering is that way.

I went to Washington University in St Louis and double majored, EE and CS and had to keep up with the extra requirement for ROTC as I went on an Army ROTC scholarship.

I don't see how students had the time to protest and such, but then realized that they were not studying engineering, but Womyns Studies or some such pap.

I recall my first EE professor. He said on day one that if you come up with a negative resistor value when solving a problem, you got the wrong answer, we used all the negative resistors in WWII to beat the Jerries and the Japs. Today, one couldn't say that sort of thing, even in an engineering school for fear someone would call it hate speech or whatever.

He lived through the war and had a different perspective than our generation born in the 1960's. Different vocabulary too.
 
I teach history at the college level, and I can tell you it has gotten so bad that I am looking to leave the profession for a while, and maybe permanently. Students (not all, but a very large segment) are combative, entitled, and looking for something to be offended by. I know of a colleague that got into trouble for using the term "Native American" in the room with someone who identified as "American Indian". I can imagine someone else of the same ethnic background would find offense at being called "American Indian" and wish to be called "Native American"

I had one student complain about me for wearing this one day. They thought it was a Trump buckle and they felt as if I was pushing my political views on them.

Clearly the K-12 system is failing our children. I have only been a teacher since 2011 and in that short time I have seen the collective knowledge of incoming freshmen go down just about every year.

Hey, there are a lot of us undercover Texas agents working for good here in Austopolis... we're just outnumbered by Californians these days. :p

Same here. I was doing my undergraduate in the early 80s when there was a big ruckus among the liberal arts students (aspiring politicians...) to bring back student government so that they could get elected and have resume padding. I don't know if you remember how THAT went down... most of the colleges other than liberal arts (engineering, natural sciences, etc.) didn't give a rip, and someone had the bright idea of writing in a cartoon character from a local comic (Hank the Hallucination from 'Eyebeam') for student body president, mainly as a protest against student government. Hank won, but they brought back student government anyway and IMO that was the beginning of the end of the UT I knew and loved. Personally, I had no clue how anyone could have the time to futz around with nonsense. All 5 minutes of free time I had per week were spent trying to meet a girl or two... and mostly failed. :p

Oh, and the guy who came in SECOND to a cartoon character? Paul Begala. Eventually did for the entire country what he did for UT, so I guess the resume padding worked... for him if not for the rest of the population. :-/

Must mean alot to have their name on the monument. And to live now where they fought for their independence.

I didn't get to see the monument when I was in Houston wish I did, but did get photos of the Sam Houston Statue outside Huntsville.

How many students actually do not know the combatants in events such as the American Revolution and the American Civil War? You see the Youtube videos all the time. I fail to believe it can possibly be that bad. In any event, my little girl will be going to private school, or be home schooled.
