Frightening tales from US campuses, which have turned into Soviet prisons. Horrific and upsetting. Why are young people putting up with this? They need to revolt. https://jordanschachtel.substack.com/p/tales-from-americas-covid-college

Quotes:

"The whole thing is a bait and switch. We're being forced to pay to attend Zoom classes in our rooms all semester."

"Everyone’s mental health is crumbling."

"this is prison we can’t do anything"

"No visitors on campus all year."

"Students must wear masks outside dorm rooms, cannot visit another dorm, etc. Threatened with draconian honor code violations if they violate the rules... Yet today, the athletes... were permitted to organize a BLM march through campus."

"Roommates are terrified of making a mistake regarding masks, distancing and gatherings … the President basically ‘yells’ everyday that this is not sustainable and is threatening to shut it all down … kids are just waiting for the hammer to drop."

"After having been on campus for a week, my daughter has not met nor spoken to a single person. She is in her dorm room in front of her computer at almost all times, and the only times she really leaves are when she picks up her to-go meals."

"when housing deposits were due they said ‘in person classes, no masks outside’ no mention of tests... 48 hours before the students move in week was to begin, OSU changed all the rules. It’s a dystopian hell."

"Masks required everywhere, in Baton Rouge in August. Outside. I don’t know how the kids aren’t fainting. All classes online. One class is a ‘learn on your own’ and take a test. No instruction."

"Mandatory masking inside and OUTSIDE... Families had until Aug 1 to decide whether to send kids and accept a no refund policy if kids were sent home... Of course at that time, classes reported as hybrid. Two weeks in, most classes have now switched to online only."

"Threatened with class 2 misdemeanor by the sheriff and code of conduct violation aka loss of scholarship if u went home."

"told to ‘to treat every person as If they are sick’ so they don’t get caught in a contact tracing web so they essentially are being told to not interact with others... makes them judge everything the roommate does b/c if roommate is contact traced you are forced back into jail."

"Only 15 people allowed to gather. Masks required outside their room anywhere..inside or out. All classes are online. Only 1 person can visit room and masks must be worn. Immediate suspension if caught violating. This is inhumane. It’s prison."

There is loads more of this sort of stuff. The American University system has become a prison. Expect the UK system to be pretty bad as well. Students being treated like they're in a gulag and they're just taking it.
