Linfield College Becomes Haven To Criminals and Psychopaths.
In a move that can only be described as deranged Linfield College has instituted a policy that “prohibits weapons on college property, in any vehicle on college property, or at any college-sponsored event on or off campus.”
In a statement that could have been lifted from “1984” (Freedom Is Slavery, War Is Peace) Linfield College’s Director of “Campus Safety” Mike Dressel said the new policy was “needed because of the violence that has flared on other U.S. campuses.”
That this kind of Orwellian double speak is coming from an “institute of higher learning” should make students,potential students and parents shudder.
As a result of the violent acts of criminals and the mentally ill, Linfield College’s response is to institute a policy that has gotten students and staff killed and wounded across the country.
Not only does it guarantee that its students cannot defend themselves (even off campus) but then the college announces that insane policy to the world.
Colleges across the country are seeing an organized movement to eliminate these kinds of deadly policies, but in the face of the horrific crimes at other schools, Linfield now announces that its students are bait.
Linfield College is private, and as such can make whatever rules it wants. Students and parents can, of course, choose other places to spend their money.
Well, with Linfield’s new policy you can just beg for mercy.

You can see a message from Linfield’s President here. The message includes this ironic note: “Linfield emphasizes lifelong learning, embraces diverse cultures and international study, and recognizes moral principle and the freedom of conscience.”
Unless of course your conscience advises you to refuse to be victimized.
