Students in a lower-level arts course last Tuesday were shocked when a student allegedly withdrew an air soft pistol in the middle of class.
One of the students present, who wished to remain anonymous, described how the scene unfolded.
“Just the way that he did it was nuts,” he said.
For their assignment on gender bias in society, students were asked to think of a boy’s toy, a girl’s toy and a toy they would consider gender-neutral.
The student in question raised his hand and asked the instructor when students would be presenting on the toys they had selected. The instructor said that students were not required to present, but when pressed by the student, agreed to allow him to offer a brief presentation.

A pro-life presentation at UFV scheduled to take place tonight has been postponed by the university. Members of Life Link, the student club responsible for the event, contend that it has been cancelled by the administration.
The group invited Michael Schouten of WeNeedALaw.ca to speak in favour of a law banning sex-selective abortions in Canada.
In an April 8 press release, Life Link president Ashley Bulthuis framed the dispute as a censorship issue, asking “[w]hy has the university suddenly disregarded its commitment to free speech in regards to the gendercide and abortion issues?”
Last year’s Life Link president Rebecca Groen echoed these sentiments, citing a successful debate the club held last year with attendance of over 100 students as evidence that the university’s security concerns are not legitimate.
