Texans will soon be able to carry concealed firearms into public universities. But some will come out swinging with other weapons: dildos.
On the first day of next falls semester, University of Texas at Austin students and supporters are planning to strap on sex toys in protest of the states new campus carry law, which goes into effect Aug. 1, 2016.
The movements rallying cry, Cocks Not Glocks, went viral Sunday, and gun nuts are already getting heated on social media. The protest organizer, Jessica Jin, said shes received death threats over the event and has alerted Austin police.
...
I need this proliferation of dildos to offer people a visual representation of what it would be like if we all carried guns, Jin told the Houston Chronicle. It should look ridiculous to you. That is the point. This is America. If guns and bloodshed don't wake people up, a public celebration of sexuality may just do the trick.
...
One joke led to another, and later to Jins discovery that rubber penises are indeed banned from classrooms. Thats when she took matters into her own hands, launching the Facebook event, Campus (DILDO) Carry, which as of Sunday night had more than 2,800 supporters.
The State of Texas has decided that it is not at all obnoxious to allow deadly concealed weapons in classrooms, however it DOES have strict rules about free sexual expression, to protect your innocence, Jin wrote on the page. You would receive a citation for taking a DILDO to class before you would get in trouble for taking a gun to class. Heaven forbid the penis.
The 24-year-old UT alumna added, Youre carrying a gun to class? Yeah well Im carrying a HUGE DILDO Just about as effective at protecting us from sociopathic shooters, but much safer for recreational play.

oneshooter: And they can be ordered removed, or covered, as a distraction within the classroom. n/t
oneshooter: The teacher has the authority to have them removed from the class.
and not returned until classroom decorum is followed.
I believe that you should know that classroom disruption can not be tolerated.

oneshooter: I would imagine that the schools also have a dress code for all employees
Even your "University" has one. It will be enforced. The teacher will face punishment ranging from a letter of reprimand in their personal file up to discharge from the University staff.
Are you allowed to teach while naked? Be truthful about it.
