What Happened at Georgetown Law with Covid?
Brownstone Institute ^ | 2/19/23 | WILLIAM SPRUANCE

Posted on 02/20/2023 9:36:35 AM PST by CFW

For questioning Covid restrictions, Georgetown Law suspended me from campus, forced me to undergo a psychiatric evaluation, required me to waive my right to medical confidentiality, and threatened to report me to state bar associations.

The Dean of Students claimed that I posed a “risk to the public health” of the University, but I quickly learned that my crime had been heretical, not medical.

This young attorney will do well in life. I hope law schools such as Georgetown eventually close.

Its not even the tiniest bit Catholic any longer.

Another comment - this is a fantastic article. Well-written, captures one’s attention, and extremely powerful.

Indeed, Georgetown, and particularly Georgetown Law - are one of the corrupt ideological centers of the DC elitist woke bubble.

The author has a bright future.

Mr. Spruance's mistake was not realizing that as a student he was an Üntermensch in a Nazi holding pen where his thoughts were closely being watched for any deviation from the Party Line.

He is fortunate they didn't put him in a boxcar and whisk him away to the "resettlement" camps but that is probably in his future - and ours, if we allow this awful tyranny to continue.

Mr. Spruance’s mistake was that he went on to finish law school at that Nazi institution.

Sunlight is the best disinfectant. Once the media started asking questions, Georgetown administrators backed off from their persecution of this bright young man.

I considered the same thing. I thought he should have addressed that notion. He could have countered that by saying:

simply withdrawing would have been seen as a willing act and admission of some kind of "guilt" or acceptance on his part.

And also, his reputation having been destroyed by Georgetown, what options would he have had at another school?

This insanity is still going on with the majority of US universities and colleges still requiring vaccination. These are the science deniers.

Great piece. He learned some valuable insights during his time at Georgetown. He’ll manage just fine.

His mistake was in thinking that law schools are still in place to teach the law and its application along with critical thinking in the legal field. He did not realize that law schools are now only places to indoctrinate social justice warriors in manipulating and using the law and the courts for their benefit.

And after what has happened the past few years, no longer will I entertain criticism of the Catholic Church for its Inquisition.

Because Jesuit, it was always off-kilter. But it ditched its last "man of the cloth" as president of Georgetown in 2001, installing its first lay president, and it's gone straight downhill ever since.
