   Quick action by a vigilant pro-Second Amendment student at the   
   University of Kansas has resulted in shutting down a professor’s   
   anti-gun syllabus. After KU senior Victoria Snitsar shared a   
   copy of the offending syllabus with university officials, the   
   university forced the professor to remove language from his   
   class syllabus that is not “in compliance with university   
   guidelines and state law.”   
      
   In his syllabus history professor Eric Rath requested students   
   “not bring firearms to class or anywhere I am present.”   
   Referencing widely discredited and biased gun control claims,   
   Rath’s syllabus warned students that carrying a firearm could   
   increase a student’s likelihood of being killed in an active   
   shooter situation. Rath’s syllabus attempted to suppress the   
   exercise of a constitutionally guaranteed right.   
      
   A university spokesperson didn’t indicate if the professor of   
   Japanese history would face any disciplinary action.   
      
   Kansas, along with 9 other states, allows law-abiding citizens   
   to carry firearms on campus. Rath used taxpayer resources to   
   produce a syllabus that quotes extensively from the partisan gun   
   control advocacy group, the Giffords Law Center for the   
   Prevention of Gun Violence. His syllabus omits the fact that in   
   Kansas, as in every other state, campus carry laws make   
   students, faculty, and staff safer. In the first year of the new   
   law, campus crime dropped by 13 at Kansas University.   
   Furthermore, campus police did not record a single weapons   
   violation on campus for the entire year.   
      
   Kansas State Representative Blake Carpenter (R-81) says this   
   kind of anti-gun bias has no place in our public universities   
   and is pleased the university is taking action to correct the   
   anti-gun syllabus. “It is unacceptable for professors to   
   intimidate students like this and try to force their political   
   views on them.” He encourages students to be vigilant to these   
   types of attacks on our rights and bring them to light.   
      
   Snitsar, who alerted national media outlets to the syllabus, is   
   pleased with the university’s response. She says no student   
   should feel unwelcomed in a classroom. She says she has always   
   been active in calling out anti-Second Amendment bias on campus   
   and lives by the Ronald Reagan motto, ‘freedom is never more   
   than one generation away from extinction.’ “I just don’t want   
   any other student to have to experience that kind of   
   intimidation by a person in authority,” Snitsar said. “That is   
   not right.”
