Care to Guess Why a Cop Who’s Also a College Student Was Escorted From Class? (Hint: He Was in Full Uniform)
A police officer who’s also a student at Darton State College in Albany, Georgia, was attending a class Wednesday when the instructor reportedly became uncomfortable with what the officer was carrying, WALB-TV said.
You see the officer was in full uniform, the station said — and he had a firearm.
So the instructor — uncomfortable with a gun in the classroom, WALB said — asked that the officer be escorted out.
Following the incident, Dr. Thomas Ormond — the school’s interim provost and vice president for academic & student affairs — issued the following statement, the station said:
“Darton State College is appreciative for the service of our law enforcement, and welcome them as students on our campus. We have apologized to the officer for our misunderstanding when he attended class on our campus, and we regret this happened. We have met with the faculty and staff involved to reiterate the Georgia Law and Darton Policy.”

Virtue signaling.
Seems to me that the proper action would be to have the holophobic instructor sent to mandatory counseling about his ignorance about firearms and the struggle they have had trying to gain acceptance in academe.
It is a form of discrimination that needs to be addressed and this instructor should be in, oh, 20 hours of counseling, including time at a gun range, so that he understands that struggle and overcomes his fear of firearms.
It is time that firearms and their owners stand up and say “We won’t take it anymore! This unconstitutional discrimination must stop! We won’t quit until firearms are accepted in any situation just because they are firearms!”
