The Alternative

The Texas legislature has decided to pander to the NRA this year and pass legislation allowing students to carry handguns on all college campuses. It will also be against the law for a teacher to ask if a student has one or to try to prohibit them during class or office hours. Inside sources in the legislature say this bill will pass, and the only question is whether they will lower the age from 21 to 18. Apparently, the Republicans plan to fix the budget deficit by reducing educational costs--enable students to shoot their fellow students and teachers so as to eliminate teacher salaries and decrease capacity enrollment costs.

..well it was either that or do something insane like legalize gambling and generate tax revenue and jobs, right?
