In Georgia, a police officer was kicked out of and escorted from a class at Darton State College because his gun made the professor "uncomfortable." The school has since apologized. The police officer is a student, and was in uniform at the time.

First reported by NBC affiliate WALB, the school did confirm that the uniformed officer, who takes classes in his spare time, was "escorted" out because the professor was "uncomfortable" at his presence and the presence of his service revolver. A police union rep told Fox they were not happy:

"I find it a bit disturbing that someone would object to having an armed law enforcement officer in the classroom," said Tim Reichert, spokesman for the Southern States Police Benevolent Association. "Much less, the very professor teaching the class."

The school issued a statement:

"Darton State College is appreciative for the service of our law enforcement, and welcome them as students on our campus. We have apologized to the officer for our misunderstanding when he attended class on our campus, and we regret this happened. We have met with the faculty and staff involved to reiterate the Georgia Law and Darton Policy."

This is the absurdity and insanity and effectiveness of anti-gun hysteria that we see in the media. It is one thing for a liberal to incorrectly disbelieve in the "good guy with a gun" idea. But it is far different (and worse) to treat an armed officer like the bad guy. If there were a school shooting, whom would that professor call and rely on to rescue him? Armed cops. Who else does he think will show up? Unicorns?

A police officer will show up. In uniform. With a gun. That's what they do. To kick one out of the classroom is not only despicable, it's absolutely, preposterously stupid. 

But then again, no one ever accused today's college professors of being smart. Or no one should, anyway.
