Three University of Texas professors asked a U.S. judge to give them the option of barring students from bringing guns into their classroom although it is permitted under state law.
Texas Attorney General, Ken Paxton, filed papers to halt the injunction, calling the professors' case a "frivolous lawsuit." "There is no legal justification to deny licensed, law-abiding citizens on campus the same measure of personal protection they are entitled to elsewhere in Texas," Paxton said in a statement.
Should the court decide to grant the professors' an injunction simply because they don't like the classroom atmosphere - one that they simply suppose and have not even experienced - it would be an usurpation of the power of the legislature by judicial fiat.
