“A college professor has revealed that she’s not sure she can give one of her students a recommendation because that student is a gun enthusiast.
The professor, writing under the pseudonym “Myrtle Lynn Payne” in the Chronicle for Higher Education on Monday, said a student named “Sarah” enrolled in one of her classes about a year ago.
“‘Sarah’ was a very nice young woman. … Her academic abilities were not strong but she had great energy and was a class leader,” the professor wrote. Payne added that she took “special notice” of Sarah on her first day in class when students were asked to share an experience from their winter break.
“Sarah shared that the most notable experience of her winter break was a visit to a gun range where she had fired an AK-47,” Payne wrote. “I gave the usual ‘very good, moving on’ response but was thinking, ‘Whoa, that’s disturbing.’”
Payne said Sarah later took another one of her classes. That’s when the professor said she heard Sarah talking about how she was looking forward to getting her concealed-carry permit. But it wasn’t until later in the school year that Payne’s and Sarah’s passion for exercising Second Amendment rights really came to a head.
“Sarah said she was applying to a teacher-credential program and asked me for a recommendation. Initially I said yes because I usually do,” Payne said, adding that she doesn’t “know what to do about the recommendation.”
