Academic Psychobabble | Student of the Gun Radio

SOTG 136 – Academic Psychobabble – Thursday

“Students” at the University of California, Irvine, have voted to remove the American flag from certain campus activities in order to be more “inclusive” and to remove a symbol of “imperialism.” The move also questions whether “freedom of speech” is also “hate speech.”

More Academic Psychobabble is on display as a college professor takes to Facebook to rail against a man lawfully carrying a handgun in the open. Finally, in additional news that will make your head hurt, Baltimore, Maryland School Police Officers have been deliberately disarmed and will remain so thanks to recent decision.

You are a beginner once, but you should be a student for life.
