Middlebury College..... What a beautiful setting and beautiful campus.... That's about where it ends! They were 'All In' on the shots and continue to be..... Woke and progressive in the worst of instances! Why would any critical thinking person waste their time and money there!!

Another thing to add in on my original comment...The history of Middlebury College is that of a true higher learning institute... They mandated the shots from everyone immediately ( students, staff, maintenance etc) and yet in real true thought and contemplation the real question from a 'place of higher learning and thinking would be..."Let's at least look a these new experimental shots before we take any action!" No.. they dove right in! It is school of higher indoctrination living on its past....

I was always taught that history was to know the mistakes of the past with the purpose of going forward and not repeating mistakes made in the past.

I guess the woke want to just forget the past so they can feel good about continued mistakes in the future!

Yes. They destroy and deconstruct so that they can erase those lessons so people will be blind when they repeat the horrible errors of history, exponentially.

Robert Louis Stevenson: “Sooner or later everyone sits down to a banquet of consequences”. Middlebury College is so VERY long overdue. Not holding my breath here! Thank you for another great piece, John.

Gross violation of basic Constitutional First Amendment FREE SPECH rights!

I am a FREE SPEECH absolutist! All the censorship out there is pure evil!

Without freedom of speech and expression, there is nothing but a 'boot stamping on your face forever', total tyranny and slavery! Free speech must be protected and preserved at all costs!

It might have been around 16-17 years ago, Middlebury hosted the great Mark Steyn which I attended. Besides being entertaining in his timely and correct criticisms of the climate change scam, he fielded several radicals' questions challenging him on his facts. He fairly educated them on the real science and dark money behind the globalist movement, respectfully and carefully avoiding party dogma prevalent in universities. I would be pleasantly surprised if Middlebury would allow him or others like him now -- unlikely, I know -- just a few short years later, but a lifetime of brainwashing for today's youth.
