The news that Texas will join states like Colorado and Kansas and allow its citizens to carry concealed weapons on public university campuses in August 2016 has frustrated parents, professors, and students alike. At the University of Texas in Austin, it has sparked a protest involving dildos.

Noting that the State of Texas has decided that they are fine with concealed weapons in classrooms, but have rules against free sexual expression, a 24-year-old UT alumna named Jessica Jin put up a Facebook page to promote what she is calling a “Campus (Dildo) Carry” event. The page has been receiving tons of hits from people who would like to protest the new law by showing up on the first day of class brandishing the sexual toy.

As of Monday, over 4,100 people had signed up to participate in the so-called "strap in" which will take place on Aug. 24, 2016.

As the Houston Chronicle reports, Jessica Jin reasons that the absurdity behind the protest will shed light on the absurdity of thinking that an open carry policy will stop a shooter. "'You're carrying a gun to class? Yeah well I'm carrying a HUGE DILDO,'" Jin writes, adding, "Just about as effective at protecting us from sociopathic shooters, but much safer for recreational play."

The demonstrators will not be limited to students. "ANYBODY can participate in solidarity: alum, non-UT students, people outside of Texas," wrote Jin.

Jin explains to the Houston Chronicle the seriousness behind the jokey premise of the protest, saying, "A campus bobbing with dildos is the stuff of every prankster's dreams. It's also self aware. We're all a bunch of dildos for allowing this debate to go on for so long."

Since Gov. Greg Abbott signed Senate Bill 11 into law into law in June, each four-year state school in Texas was given 14 months to come up with their own policy on where concealed handguns may be carried.

University of Texas System Chancellor William McRaven, a former Navy SEALs admiral, spoke to CNN about the changes to come, saying, "We are going to follow the law, and we are going to have to figure out the best way to do that to maintain the appropriate campus life, to keep our faculty and our staff and visitors as safe as possible."
