“An Emmanuel College professor has been fired after re-enacting the Virginia Tech massacre in his classroom in order to air a pro-gun viewpoint that offended students at the Catholic liberal arts school, the professor charged yesterday. Nicholas Winset said he was terminated and permanently barred from campus following a Wednesday lecture in which he dramatized the massacre to show that deranged gunman Cho Seung-Hui could have been stopped if another student had been carrying a gun. … Administrators at the college apparently did not appreciate Winset’s classroom message. They quickly fired him via a one-page letter delivered by courier yesterday. ‘You are hereby directed not to enter the College campus or any College owned property at any time for any reason,’ the letter states. … Winset said he gave students a disclaimer before he started his Virginia Tech re-enactment, which involved him pointing a Magic Marker at students and saying, ‘Pow.’ He then had another student shoot him with an imaginary gun to make the point that Cho could have been stopped by another student with a firearm.” (04/21/07) Link: http://news.bostonherald.com/localRegional/view.bg?articleid=195909 Filed under: 2AM News and PND News and RRND News | Report Bad Link Bookmark this post in Furl or Del.icio.us | |
