Anti-Gun Professor Won’t Pen Recommendation for Pro-Gun Student

There has always been a question of whether academia fosters an institutional hostility toward gun ownership. Well, if this anonymous post written by a professor is any indication, the answer is a resounding, “Yes, it sure does!”

Myrtle Lynn Payne, the pseudonym of the professor who wrote the article titled, “Guns, Pancakes, and Ambiguity” for the “The Chronicle of Higher Education,” makes it pretty clear that she is blinded by her anti-gun ideology when she acknowledges that she doesn’t want to give one of her students a recommendation because the young woman is an apparent firearms enthusiast.
Early on in the article, professor Payne describes her student, “Sarah.”
“Sarah” was a very nice young woman who turned up in one of my classes a year or so ago. Her academic abilities were not strong but she had great energy and was a class leader. Definitely a process, and not a content, type of gal. I did take special notice of her on the first day during a sharing activity we typically do at the beginning of my science lecture courses. Sarah shared that the most notable experience of her winter break was a visit to a gun range where she had fired an AK-47. I gave the usual “very good, moving on” response but was thinking, “Whoa, that’s disturbing.”
Apparently, exercising one’s constitutional right to keep and bear arms is disturbing. Who knew? I wonder if she thinks exercising other constitutional rights is also disturbing, e.g., attending a prayer breakfast or a public demonstration? My guess is the professor wouldn’t have an issue with those activities.

  1. All this goes to show is how very much become the former USSR. Great object lesson here for all collage students; know what your professor thinks about certain hot button topics, (which is easy since he/she/IdontknowwhatthehellgenderIam) will more than once tell you. Then learn to keep your real opinion to yourself. Tell your professor exactly what he wants to hear. They live in a very closed minded world and are unable to think for themselves. The real reason many professors are professors is that they are totally unable to make it in the real world. And deep down in the black pit of their soul they know it, and thus they hate every one who can. Pure envy.
