Yes, Meredith Clark really IS on the faculty of the University of Northern Texas. [View all]

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?

So I did a quick google, and found this:

Meredith Clark

Assistant Professor

Now, in the OP article, she says as much in the title, not to mention again in the text of the article, as well.



I’m A Black Female College Professor in Texas. Should I Get a Gun?

I have serious concerns about campus carry.

In addition, the article has what appears to be a photograph of her actually teaching in the classroom.



A quick google could have removed all doubts regarding her academic credentials, and avoided the ugly suggestion to the contrary.

People should be allowed to disagree with Trump on an issue such as gun-free zones without their academic credentials coming under question.

Google is your friend.

Use it.
