10Driver pretty much summed it up. The idiots run the asylum and it's the Golden Rule. He who has the gold makes the rules and in this case it is the professor. The bottom line is walking out into the world with a good GPA is at the top of the priority list and trying to go head-on with a tenured professor who is there to push his beliefs and get his ego stroked is nothing but a no-win.
Write a quality paper on a non-controversial subject and save the battle for another day when the playing field is a little more level because right now it's stacked on one side and one side only.

While most of this advice is well meaning and definitely the path of least resistance it reminds me a bit of a poem I read many years ago...

First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a communist;
Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a socialist;
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a trade unionist;
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out - because I was not a Jew;
Then they came for me - and there was no one left to speak out for me.
- Martin Niemoller

The left has been very successful at suppressing the truth and repeating lies until they become the new truth. While the act of one lone college student may make no difference at all, it could also be a part of an increasing wave of change...

Maybe she should write a paper about the controversy of not being supported by the community that she is trying to help :roll:

She's at a smaller, private, all women's school. That probably gives her some flexibility as far as her transcripts will look to any future employers.

The largest growing segment of the gun purchasing/carrying population is women.

I would go as far as saying that 60%+ of all news stories of a bad guy being stopped with a gun has a woman pulling the trigger.

A pro 2A paper including the empowerment of women finally starting to physically defend their self and family is something no man could ever get away with.

My wife has been involved with a group of gals for probably 5-6 years now that get together once a month. In that same time frame the school where she teaches has started active shooter/intruder training. Guess who was asked to be a team leader and be part of the training committee? Slowly but surely other women and some men have approached her to find out where she got her training.

Things are slowly changing in the academic world, sadly because the women are realizing they can't count on the men to protect them. It won't be men who save the 2A, it will be strong mined gals with a backbone like Scratch's daughter.

Firstly, Dr. Phil’s suggestion of Jim Crow and restrictions to arming former slaves is absolutely brilliant. As Dellet mentioned, women and minorty participation are an opportunity. Additionally, that type of paper can easily be crafted to appear as a SJW’s take on 2A. Your position would be masked by assumptions. Very nice!

I ‘d also like to point out the obvious, that Scratch has an actual child who is paying actual money (maybe borrowed for several years???) to get HER degree. Any activism can have far reaching consequences. I’m basing this on both personal experience and direct observation over a period of many years. Do you really want YOUR child to punch out of college to go march alongside Linda Sarsour? After all, LS is also a “real” activist.

It’s all “well meaning” advice when your family doesn’t have real skin or real coin in the game. This is an academic environment. This paper probably won’t be the one to “save the world or or 6-million innocents” some time in the future. But A misadvised choice could conceivably have a significant impact on GPAs, additional tuition or even graduating for Scratch and his family.


As I mentioned before, this is just my suggestion.

Yeah well I guess it doesn't matter anymore. She's writing her paper on free college I guess. She just told me this morning.

Thanks for all your help.

Great choice. Now that all her virtual god parents are involved, hopefully you’ll share how it goes.

It's true that a paper on gun control from a feminist and/or ethnic minority point of view could be a hard blow to the gun grabbing liberals using the "RACIST!!" trump card against any pro-gun movement.
Plus, it's not like you'd run out of arguments: the Jim Crow laws disarming black people and facilitating the work of the KKK and racist policemen, the stories about women defending themselves with a gun against stronger opponents... If you can find a story about a black woman using a gun to repel a racist assault, then you're golden!
Hell, I even know some socialists who are for gun rights; if you go far enough on the left, people start advocating for guns again.
