I miss college students. At the University of Texas at Austin last week students protested the “open carry” law that allows people to carry guns around on campus. If you believe, as I do, that college campuses should be places of learning, then why would you need to carry a gun into a classroom?
To protest the state policy, thousands of students carried brightly colored sex toys openly around campus.
An organizer of the sex toy protest, Jessica Jin, said of the open carry gun law, “It’s absurd. So, I thought, we have to fight absurdity with absurdity.”
Unfortunately, Texas law makes open carry of sex toys illegal, although as of August 25, no student had yet been arrested for dildo open carry.
Information for this post was taken from Dave Phillips, “Texas Students Wield Absurdity as a Weapon,” New York Times, (25 Aug. 16), p. A9.
