Yes, Meredith Clark really IS on the faculty of the University of Northern Texas.
I saw a post questioning her academic credentials in a group that I no longer post in.
She actually believes gun free zones work? And admits it? And is a professor?

It does put the questioning of her academic credentials in perspective, I suppose.
