Expect to see an increase in the open carrying of dildos by moonbats. Update to this previous story.
Via Guns:
A federal judge on Monday refused to issue a preliminary injunction in the lawsuit by three University of Texas professors who do not want legal concealed carry in their classes.
With the state’s new campus carry law taking effect this month, the professors kept a promise of litigation and filed suit in federal court in July seeking a federal injunction on campus carry naming Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, UT President Gregory Fenves and members of the school’s Board of Regents in their official capacity, as defendants.
Paxton, in response, filed paperwork in opposition to the professors’ action earlier this month, calling the suit frivolous and the law constitutionally sound.
Now, with classes set to begin for the 2016 Long Session on Wednesday, the court has declined to lend enough merit to the professors’ argument to warrant blocking campus carry while the case unfolds.
“It appears to the court that neither the Texas Legislature nor the Board of Regents has overstepped its legitimate power to determine where a licensed individual may carry a concealed handgun in an academic setting,” wrote U.S. District Judge Earl Leroy Yeakel III, a UT alumni who was appointed to the bench in 2003 by President George W. Bush, in his ruling Monday.
The faculty members, three female liberal arts professors whose classwork sometimes touches on controversial subjects such as abortion and unwanted pregnancies, argue the carry of guns in their classes will chill discussion, thus hindering their right to free speech.
