It is no secret that COVID-19 variants are spread through sneezing, coughing and touching someone who’s infected; but one university seems to think there is another method of transmission.
Rutgers University is preventing unvaccinated students from taking classes online, according to one student.
Logan Hollar, a student from Sandyston, New Jersey, told NJ.com that he ignored the school’s vaccine mandate because all his classes are remote, per Fox News.
Despite taking his classes from 70 miles away via computer, Hollar was locked out of his student email and school accounts when he went to pay his tuition at the end of last month because he wasn’t vaccinated.
Hollar was forced to miss classes, which started September 1, and has been warned it could be weeks before a decision is reached on his application to be exempt from the vaccine mandate.
“I’ll probably have to transfer to a different university,” Hollar said, saying he’s familiar with at least one other student in the same boat.
“I find it concerning for the vaccine to be pushed by the university rather than my doctor,” he said. “If someone wants to be vaccinated, that’s fine with me, but I don’t think they should be pushed.”
“I don’t care if I have access to campus,” he continued. “I don’t need to be there. They could ban me. I just want to be left alone.”
Hollar’s stepfather, Keith Williams, said he’s “dumbfounded.”
“I believe in science, I believe in vaccines, but I am highly confident that COVID-19 and variants do not travel through computer monitors by taking online classes,” he said. “He chose to remove himself from an on-campus experience so he would not need to be vaccinated. Now to be removed and shut down from his Rutgers email and online classes during the start of his senior year seems a bit crazy.”

Now that is beyond ignorant. Have today’s educational institutions given up on education and dedicated themselves to to try and out-stupid one another? If this is indicative of the level of thinking that has become common among educators and school administrators, then they are certainly not providing an education for students. Their failure to think clearly and use common sense leaves them looking rather foolish.
Their science department should have been able to have told them that computer viruses do not behave like human viruses, so even if this guy had COVID, it wasn’t going to be transmitted through the modem and infect anyone on the other end.
How blatantly stupid.
To paraphrase Lieutenant General Russel Honoré: They are Stuck on Stupid!
It amazes me that so many of those who “teach” have PHDs but I would bet that 100% have not a discernible amount of common sense. Just because many have degrees does not solve the stupid problem. Yeah, they are hopelessly stuck on stupid to the “nth” degree, a condition that there is noe cure for!
Book smarts maybe. Common sense, hell no.
These lunatics get more and more STUPID every day… More and more our country is being ripped apart and shoved deeper and deeper into hell!! God help our country as these lunatics and this nightmare of an administrations destroys the country… these lunatics and the radical democRATS are doing nothing spreading their extreme hate and lies across our country…. I’m so sick of this insanity…. Our administration is NO better than this extremely supid university… they damage everything they touch.. go after everyone who don’t bow down to their way of thinking… IT’S DISGUSTING!!!
This insanity is like the ‘zero tolerance policies’, we saw “RE guns”, that caused that kid who ate his poptart into a ‘gun’, to get suspended and the like.
Or that preschool to expel a kid, cause he ‘KISSED A GIRL”, which to THEM was ‘sexual assault’..
Your comment is very correct, especially the “God help our country”. It’s past time for us to get on our knees and ask God to save our country and heal our land.
maybe the vaccine is making those in charge, dumb. Just another side effect.
THose in charge, were dumb, LONG BEFORE covid came out. LIbtardism rotted what brains they may have had.
It has nothing to do with the pandemic. It is all about control.
The “Socialist Democrat Party State” political officers, Gestapo, Woke and Cancel Culture are just getting started.
You will obey, be loyal and support the “Socialist Democrat Party State” or you will be classified as
“Enemies of the State”. 🙁 🙁 🙁
Institutions of “higher learning” are now becoming institutions of higher ignorance & irrational stupidity. Instead of defunding the Police – start defunding all these bone-headed liberal Universities!!!
These former “institutions of higher learning” have become “institutions of no learning” over a period of years. They finally have jumped in head first and will eventually drown.
Rutgers has been a nest of commie vipers for at least 50 years, if not longer. Wuhan Virus gives them the opportunity to exercise even more power over their charges, indoctinate them, and send them off into the world to infect all institutions where they land with communist philosophy. Been going on for years and true of nearly all “institutions of higher learning”.
Which is why if i had the power, i’d SHUT THEM ALL THE HELL DOWN.
Remind me to NEVER send my kid to this esteemed bastion of learning!
Nolan, I would add any of the other institutions of higher learning to make the list bigger. Classes on common sense are not part of the curriculum.
These days, even ‘tech schools’, are starting to get as woke as these indoctrination centers are.. SO BEST TO HOME SCHOOL your kids, period.
SUE THE hell out of them.
Perhaps if he gets a program that he can run every week to scan his computer for a virus they’ll consider him to be ‘safe’. Or, maybe his computer needs to wear a mask and physical distance from other computers.
Seriously, the guy is in his senior year and he isn’t planning to come on campus, what are they scared of? Someone who actually can think for themselves and isn’t afraid to buck the crowd? If they continue to hold him off classes I’d sue them for every penny I could get. They have no business keeping him from classes online.
What i want to know is WHAT THE HELL DREW him to that libtard hellhole campus, in the first place!
