Universities are supposed to be bastions of critical thinking, reason and logic. But the COVID policies they have adopted — which have derailed two years of students’ education and threaten to upend the upcoming spring semester — have exposed them as nonsensical, anti-scientific and often downright cruel.
Some of America’s most prestigious universities are leading the charge.
At Georgetown University, fully vaccinated students are randomly tested for COVID weekly. A positive PCR test, which can detect tiny amounts of dead virus, sends asymptomatic students to a room in a designated building where they spend 10 days in confinement. Food is dropped off once a day at the door.

Check the thread below. FR is not immune from spreading the COVID fear.
Which one?
Yep, I work at a high end university. They’re all about science and reasoning. Not.
Spreading hysteria is the goal.

Please clap.
I heard a professor, who is supposed to encourage questioning and investigating, mock those who “do their own research.” I thought universities were doing that, especially their phd candidates. Silly me.
Universities are the root cause of everything wrong with this country.
America was a super power in 1950, when less than 10% of the population had college degrees. And the movers and shakers in those days were a lot smarter and tougher.
The you must go to college mentality turns people into brown nosing conformists, who “play the game” to climb the ladder of success, starting in grade school.
It makes perfect sense that universities would be the most oppressive places for COVID. They’re like the old Play Dough factory. Churning out little clay robots.
George Orwell on a bad day.

IU did this last year. Anyone commuting from outside Marion county was “randomly” selected. I was randomly selected 18 times to be tested. A friend of mine was tested once.
——–-————————
Before I tested, I noticed the sign on campus asked you not to brush your teeth, drink water, or use mouthwash 30 minutes before you got the test. I thought that was weird. So I started brushing my teeth before I drove downtown, and I use mouthwash with alcohol right before I went in and took my test. I never tested positive for covid since then.
I’m glad articles like this are starting to come out. I have a freshman at Cal State (Computer Science major). After pulling him from public school and homeschooling him when he was a senior because he FLUNKED OUT of “remote school” in 2020-21, I advised him to go out of state to college, but he chose Cal State anyway, although he had other options.
I’ve been very wary of the Cal State system, obviously, mask obsessed and vax obsessed and ALL TO QUICK to revert to “remote learning.” Luckily he was able to get 3 of his 4 classes in person in Fall 2021, and I’m hopeful that 3 of his 4 in Spring 2022 will be too.
Still, it’s very risky. . .and he’ll likely be masked ALL FOUR YEARS. And he’ll be the first in our family to get “boosted,” because Cal State is requiring it. I’m hoping the J&J “booster” is better for a 19 year old man than the others. . .
Anyway, I’m glad more of these articles are coming out now because college kids are SO MEEK AND WIMPY to not fight all these mandates and “remote learning” while they are being charged between $15K and $70K per year to be herded around like cattle and overmedicalized and undereducated.
Nah…..
Dentists these days require an anti-viral rinse before treatments—they know that it kills the covid.
A good tip on testing!
Obviously this has long since stopped being true, if it ever was.
Institutions of Higher Obedience
Its all public education. But who wants to spend more than a couple of hours a day with the kids they bore. I always did a get out of jail free friday monthly with my kids. If they had some absences, it would just be get out of jail free so they dont dock you because they didn’t get their federal dollars day. It started when they both told me they just watch videos and movies on Friday.
I always watch Midway, the movie, and think to myself.. those guys were amazing. Key.. they were uneducated men dedicated to their wives, mothers and children.
Our military is weak, mostly single with no real reason to fight.
But they will obey blindly, take a vax that doesn’t work and be unable to navigate through a shipping lane.
These two institutions have one thing in common.. they have kicked Jesus Christ and His Holy Woord out. His blessing went with it. Luckily they have a god.. the government. /rant
