Remember: Universities knew this would happen to kids. They wanted the money. https://twitter.com/Hammontreers/status/1295464420114604038
I've been one of the biggest supporters and boosters of the U.S. university system, but this is just disgusting. Colleges are supposed to be stewards and protectors of young people's health. It's hard to overstate just how much they've violated parents' trust here.
How can you expose kids to a pandemic for MONEY? How can you damage kids' lungs and brains for MONEY? I can't even fathom how cynical that is. It's like Phillip Morris level of evil, but from an institution that was supposed to be our most liberal and caring institution.
And yes, states that pressured their public schools to reopen are equally at fault here. Utterly inexcusable.
And remember, universities had a choice. Some universities chose to go remote for the fall. https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/08/13/some-stanford-undergraduate-students-no-longer-allowed-campus-residence-halls-leaked-email-says/
