A College Instructor Comes Under Fire for Segregating Concealed Carriers in Her Class

An instructor at the University of Utah is facing massive backlash after she created a “Second Amendment zone” in her classroom. Students who legally carried were forced to stand in a corner of the room that was roped off just for them, Campus Reform reported.

The instructor provided her “weapons policy” to students, which stated:

Concealed carry is protected under your second amendment rights! However, because the University of Utah reserves the right to restrict elements of the first amendment on campus to specifically sanctioned ‘free speech zones’ I am reserving the right to restrict elements of the second amendment in my own classroom.

If you feel that it is somehow at all appropriate to bring a gun to class (hint: it is not—this is absurd, antisocial, and frightening behavior), you are restricted to spending your time in class in my “second amendment zone” a 3×3 taped square on the floor in the very back of the classroom, that will be shared with all other gun carriers. This zone also does not include a desk, because desks are reserved for students who respect the personal and psychological safety of their classmates and instructor.
