A pathetic display of liberal arrogance at an American university.
After the Virginia Tech shooting, a concealed-weapons permit holder sends two emails to Hamline University school administrators complaining about their crackdown on weapons on campus, arguing that the students of Hamline University needed to be encouraged to take a hand in their own self defense more than they needed grief counseling.
The response from the school? The suspended the poor guy and made therapy mandatory before he could be considered for reinstatement.
On April 23, Scheffler received a letter informing him he’d been placed on interim suspension. To be considered for readmittance, he’d have to pay for a psychological evaluation and undergo any treatment deemed necessary, then meet with the dean of students, who would ultimately decide whether Scheffler was fit to return to the university.
The consequences were severe. Scheffler wasn’t allowed to participate in a final group project in his course on Human Resources Management, which will have a big impact on his final grade. Even if he’s reinstated, the suspension will go on his permanent record, which could hurt the aspiring law student.
“‘Oh, he’s the crazy guy that they called the cops on.’ How am I supposed to explain that to the Bar Association?” Scheffler asks.
Amazing how simply advocating for the embrace of a specific right enumerated in the Constitution (it comes right after “free speech” and “free press” and “free religion") can get you sent to therapy.
I wonder how liberals would react if someone advocating abortion were forced to go to therapy by a religious university.
