Universities' Covid Policies Defy Science and Reason https://t.co/BjRnJmEEO9 It is time to change policies that are harming students.— Jeb Bush (@JebBush) January 4, 2022
Check the thread below. FR is not immune from spreading the COVID fear.
Yep, I work at a high end university. They’re all about science and reasoning. Not.
Spreading hysteria is the goal.

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.

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.
Obviously this has long since stopped being true, if it ever was.

College: high school with ashtrays.
In jail you only get 7 days of lockdown for a scuffle.
Until recently, the NN Post has been part of the COVID fear machine. Good to see articles like this beginning to appear.
Thinking about it, the university system, particularly regarding graded essays, doctoral programs and systems for tenure, selects for those adept at pleasing and emulating those in authority and at adhering to established norms.
I’m not sure where critical thinking skills, or a habit of thinking “outside the box”, provide much of an advantage in such a scheme.
