I am a veterinary student at a midwestern liberal infested university.
At my first day of veterinary medical clinical rotations (3/4 years complete) I received an email outlining my required removal from campus. This closely accompanied a call from my attending clinician outlining that my cases have been transferred and I have to leave .
Why you ask? Because of my non-compliance in the mandatory testing.
The mandatory testing requires a bodily fluid (saliva) and it was made mandatory for on-campus students this spring, thankfully I have been able to avoid them until now.
Now my education is being withheld pending a submission of bodily fluids for a barely accurate PCR test for a faux-virus.
Where the hell do I even go from here? I pay for a university and now they've changed the rules.
We are living in a dystopian hell that values compliance and submission over liberty and strength.
I don't think you have much legal recourse unless you have a religious conviction or anxiety disorder that prevents your compliance to the test. If that is the case then perhaps they could be persuaded to make reasonable accommodation like a temperature test.
That is my worry. Pretty outrageous that they can require a bodily fluid on no grounds other than, muh covid safety
It's also a reversal on a foundational philosophic principle of society: no one is legally obligated to help others, and it is each person's responsibility for their own safety, because to otherwise so would make everyone a slave. Being considerate of others and helping others isn't inherently wrong, but government requiring you to do so definitely is. It's the same difference between charity and taxation.
With the mask mandate, they've reversed this principle, now saying it is everyone's responsibility to provide for the safety of others. It's a purely communist ideal, treating people as a collective, and enforcing altruism on everyone, when altruism itself is self destructive at every level.
Who gets the power to decide what we all must do to provide "safety" to others? The government and corporations (that are in bed with the government), of course. It gives anyone with petty tyrant tendencies the opportunity to lord over others (politicians, mayors, judges, governors, LEOs, social media virtue signalers, everyday mask Nazis). The Supreme Court already ruled that this is wrong, stating that police officers aren't legally obligated to help people. I'd guess that most people don't make this connection or why it's wrong, and those in power, if they do make the connection, will never mention it for fear of losing their new power. With the reversal of this foundational principle, it allows for every dystopian dictate under the sun. Mandatory vaccines? They can now be enforced. Mandatory hazmat suits? They can now be enforced, but they won't because it would fuck with their Covid propaganda. Increased taxation and welfare bloat? Absolutely.
What university?
