Well, Oberlin
/Oberlin College Mandates Masks at ALL Times After Just One Positive COVID Test on Campus
In more proof that the elitists of academia have indeed lost their bubble-wrapped minds, Oberlin College in Oberlin, OH has reinstated a mask mandate for their entire campus both indoors and outdoors, at all times.
The only exception to the mask rule is if a person is eating outdoors or alone.
Oberlin says the mandate will go into effect on September 27 and last until October 18, but may be extended “depending on the rate of infection identified in the arrival period.”
Oberlin says over 88% of their student body has been vaccinated, so with such drastic measures one can only imagine that they must be suffering from a pretty severe COVID outbreak. One might also feel inclined to congratulate Oberlin for their bravery in choosing to stay open in the face of the frightening spread of this contagion on their campus. If people are getting sick even with that incredibly high rate of vaccination, it must be very, very serious.
Well, no. Not really:
Sadly, the children who now infest our nation’s campuses love this stuff, and want more.
One might have expected students to rebel against these measures: Many campuses contain a loud and active contingent of injustice-minded protesters. But if young people at Columbia, Harvard, and elsewhere are fed up with mandatory masking and social distancing, they certainly aren't saying so. In fact, some students seem to be eagerly reporting each other for COVID-19 noncompliance. And at campuses where the mitigation efforts are less militant, students have actually protested the lack of enforcement. University of Iowa students recently held a "die-in" to demand that the administration pause "all non-essential in person events" and implement a mask mandate.
