Original Article

Posted By: Ribicon, 6/15/2021 12:46:19 PM

Rhodes College said it will charge unvaccinated students an extra $1,500 per semester starting this fall to cover the costs of mandatory COVID-19 testing. The private liberal arts college in Memphis informed incoming students last week that unvaccinated students will be charged a $1,500 Health and Safety fee per semester until the FDA formally approves the vaccine, in which case all students, faculty, and staff will be required to be inoculated.(Snip) All unvaccinated students will be required to undergo weekly testing for COVID-19, which will be covered by the fee. Medical or religious vaccine exemption requests must be submitted by Aug. 2

What a time to be an American. Clever to add a "convenience fee" to encourage compliance; Chief Judas John Roberts would surely approve.

Rhodes went leftist years ago, long before they hired Zandria Robinson in 2015. Pretty campus, but not someplace anyone but an avowed leftist would send their kids. https://www.foxnews.com/us/memphis-professor-behind-racist-tweets-resurfaces-at-crosstown-school

No reason to vaccinate kids! The vaccine is still not safe - 4,000 reported deaths & maybe 20,000 unreported deaths. For sure over 100,000 injuries from them. If they want to charge kids - charge them the $3.00 a month cost for taking Ivermectin as a prophylactic.

So, suppose one or two hundred kids, at the last minute, decide not to enroll for the semester. That would add up to a lot of lost tuition. Also, if wealthy alumni decided to withhold their various grants, it might also affect the decision makers at Rhodes. All of the kids should boycott and not enroll unless and until the school gets rid of that insidious fee.

Why are vaccinated people afraid of unvaccinated people? It appears the vaccinations do nothing but cause cardiac arrest, blood clots, menopausal and pregnancy issues, and accelerated death to the aged. They do provide a database of the entire population for the Masters of the Universe to use to control the world, using social credits, such as do you have their vaccination, or not. Yes sir, wiping it off, Master.

70% of college “education” is worthless indoctrination. It has little to no value anymore. Tell your children to search elsewhere for knowledge and more importantly, experience.

A man whose shocking slur-filled rant against an Asian NYPD cop went viral this month threatened another officer’s family just before the racist attack, newly surfaced video shows. The unidentified man, who’s black, repeatedly called the Asian officer a “ch—k” in a widely circulated video that was filmed in Greenwich Village as protests were held in Washington Square Park on June 5. But new video posted by the Police Benevolent Association union on Wednesday shows the lead-up to that racist exchange—as the man angrily eggs on another cop sitting in a police van.(Snip) “It’s not an isolated incident.

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot has been slammed for sending a 'deranged' email to one of her female staffers berating her for failing to scheduled enough 'office time'. The condescending message was sent by Lightfoot to her then-scheduler Taylor Lewis on January 28, but was only obtained by the Chicago Tribune this week. The paper was investigating reports of high staff turnover at City Hall when they uncovered the 'unhinged' email. The message included sentences which Lightfoot repeated more than a dozen times—apparently in order to really get her point across.(Snip) In the email, Lightfoot continued to patronizingly repeat each sentence she subsequently wrote.

San Francisco has become a shoplifter’s paradise—with thieves like the one caught on video looting a Walgreens emboldened by relaxed punishment for the crime as businesses shutter, cops say. The Walgreens heist, which happened right in front of a security guard, renewed the debate over a controversial city law called Proposition 47. “What happened in that Walgreens has been going on in that city for quite a while,” San Francisco police Lt.

Connecticut schools that insist on using Native American nicknames and mascots without written consent from tribal leaders could see their budgets on the chopping block. State senators passed a budget bill Tuesday containing a provision that cut districts off from the Mashantucket Pequot/Mohegan Fund, which generates education revenue at the state’s Indian-run casinos. Money would be withheld to schools that don’t have permission to use “any name, symbol or image that depicts, refers to or is associated with a state or federally recognized Native American tribe or a Native American individual, custom or tradition, as a mascot, nickname, logo or team team.”

Fed-up families in District 29—a primarily black area which includes Hollis, Rosedale, and Cambria Heights—said the DOE has long tolerated abysmal math and English proficiency rates, despite high per-student spending.(Snip) Despite spending roughly $27,000 per student, PS 134 in Hollis saw only 6 percent of 5th graders pass their 2019 state math proficiency test and 17 percent hit that minimal mark in English.

In the first public accounting of its kind in decades, an Associated Press investigation has found that at least 1,900 U.S. military firearms were lost or stolen during the 2010s, with some resurfacing in violent crimes. And that’s certainly an undercount. Government records covering the Army, Marine Corps, Navy and Air Force show pistols, machine guns, shotguns and automatic assault rifles have vanished from armories, supply warehouses, Navy warships and elsewhere. These weapons of war disappeared because of security failures that, until now, have not been publicly reported, including sleeping troops and a surveillance system that didn’t record.(Snip) While AP’s focus was firearms, military explosives also

Sen. Joe Manchin has been one of just two Democrats, along with Kyrsten Sinema, to continually say that they aren’t open to abolishing the filibuster. To this point, the filibuster has stood in the way of Democrats seeking to pass all manner of insane bills. Previously, I opined that Sinema seemed more resolute than Manchin regarding her position.

A leaked phone call between Joe Manchin and a political advocacy group reveals the machinations being attempted by the West Virginian senator behind the scenes.

On Tuesday, President Joe Biden released a blueprint for his New War on Terror. In the “National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism,” the Biden White House pledges that the administration will combat domestic terrorism “while vigilantly safeguarding peaceful expression of a wide range of views and freedom of political association.” Yet the administration’s biases give conservatives good reason to doubt this pledge. The White House claims that the “two most lethal elements” of domestic terrorism are “racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists who advocate for the superiority of the white race” and “anti-government or anti-authority violent extremists, such as militia violent extremists.”
