If someone left quarantine/isolate (like your kid did), they would be suspended for the term and declared persona non grata on campus. This is a VA school. One that only had about 1% of the student body get infected in the fall.

People took it seriously and it worked.

And PS, flouting stupid COVID restrictions, especially when someone is low risk and young, is to be expected and commended. You should be proud of your DC.

The kid was infected when he went AWOL, that's not exactly good citizen conduct. But I doubt they will give a harsh punishment.

Free country.

We don't have a constitutional right to infect others. Our rights stop when they impact other citizens. You can't drive 100 mph, you can't shoot a gun anywhere you want, you can't assault others, you can't steal from others. Good citizenship keeps the society 'free'.

And you don’t have a constitutional right to control my child. See how that works?

But the school DOES have a right to control your child's behavior, but establishing rules. That's so OTHERS feel comfortable going to school. If you don't like the rules, keep your kid out.

We all have to follow rules we don't like sometimes. It's part of being a member of society and, on a smaller scale, our communities. If you are SO horrified by the rules of that college, keep your kid home. Everyone who decided to send their kid to school this year knew the rules and knew the repercussions of breaking them could have devastating effects on those around them.

You are why this country is sinking to the bottom.

And you clearly would prefer to scare young, low risk college students into protecting YOU, just because you’re old and infirm. We are not falling for it.

I'm not old or infirm, thanks. I can't wait for your kids to get kicked out of school or arrested, because their parent raised them to believe they get to pick and choose which rules they have to follow. Good luck with that.

And I can’t wait for your kid to spend a lifetime toiling away at a meaningless Fed job, pushing paper around, just because she didn’t have enough gumption to think for herself. Just like Mom.

I know how to think for myself. Understanding the benefit of being a valuable member of a functioning society is a pretty smart attitude to have IMO.

I get that you do not want to be inconvenienced by considering other people’s needs, but frankly that attitude has actually resulted in nearly a year of restrictions that, had people like you cared more about collective needs than personal wants, would probably be lesser than they currently are. Your attitude is extending the time you have to be this angry.
