LOL! When I was in seminary in the ‘60s, that was how we lived our lives.

We needed written permission to leave campus, and written permission to date — naming names of who you’d be with.

Sounds like an arrest to me.

Amherst is training future concentration camp citizens.

Their parents must be so proud!

Interesting they waited until 2 days after the withdrawal date with a 100% refund. Students have until 9/10 to get 90% refunded. I would get out now if I were foolish enough to enroll there.

Wow, only $76,750 a year to become a liberal arts prisoner.

Who in their right mind would pay to go to school there?

I bet the students are having a ball sneaking out!

Why not cut to the chase and load the students into box cars?

Sounds like a good case for false imprisonment.

The bad guys wont need box cars this time. Sheeple will drive themselves to the death camps in large carpools.

The petition currently boasts 433 signatures in opposition to the policy, Mass Live reports.

You don't sign a petition to oppose this policy.

You get your ass out of there and go to school somewhere else.

It's pathetic when people who are PAYING CUSTOMERS don't act that way.

An interesting little tidbit in this article:

This New York Times article, entitled “A Misleading CDC Number,” puts the rate of outdoor transmission at less than 0.1%, stating that “there is not a single documented COVID-19 infection in the world from causal outdoor interaction, such as walking past someone on the street or eating at a nearby table.”

Over and above the fact that "documented" can mean anything the NYT wants it to, the timing of this little truth bomb is interesting. Possibly such matters shouldn't be a bother to the Amherst elite in the eyes of the NYT but for the rest of us, well...

Shouldn’t this be shuffled off to General Chat like you did with mine a few days ago?

just like public schools, training grounds for imprisonment.

When did college become prison and WHY are they forcing you to PAY for it? Who in their right mind would attend ANY institution (and that is what they are now), pay a FORTUNE and be treated like a prisoner? Don’t forget they also make you apologize for being white at every turn now.

You reap what you sow.
