Another interesting note from the Advertiser:
State Rep. Ernest Wooton, R-Belle Chasse, sponsor of the bill, decided to delay the vote after more than 20 LSU athletic officials signed a letter in opposition.
Maybe I'm misreading this, but did they say that it took action by athletic officials in order to get some reconsideration on this bill? Athletic officials?? I guess outrage on the part of students and campus police chiefs isn't enough cause for concern—we need LSU's athletic department to weigh in. To hell with teachers and students, but we just can't allow LSU football to be jeopardized:
The letter argued Wooton's legislation would make campuses more dangerous. "Athletes, students, staff and visitors" the letter said, "will be able to carry concealed weapons into our practice facilities and in locker rooms."
Whatever gets it done I guess ...
Please help to put an end to this nonsense.
Contact your representative.
It took me less than five minutes.
