Fairfield University Will Force Students to Take Mandatory COVID-19 Tests in Order to Attend Class

Fairfield University has announced its plans to be operational for the fall semester amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, tossing the privacy rights of students completely to the wayside.
“As Fairfield University plans to Bring its Stags Home for the fall 2020 semester, a safe return to campus life is our most important priority. We want to make sure our community members have all the information they need to maintain the vibrancy of our campus life but do so as safely as possible,” Fairfield University wrote in an email to their student body.
The university plans to force students to report their health data and submit it into an invasive cell phone app, monitor themselves for any close contact with individuals who have the virus, wear masks at all times while attending class, and subject themselves to mandatory COVID-19 testing to be allowed on campus.
Journalist Alex Berenson noted Fairfield’s proposed plans in a Twitter post, highlighting the absurdity and apparent illegality of the scheme:
Good morning. @fairfieldU – 6,000 students – is going to require random #SARSCoV2 testing for students, including some who live off-campus. Does HIPAA even allow this invasion of privacy? Imagine if they tried this for STis (which are probably more dangerous in this age range). pic.twitter.com/4CaogivaUY

Berenson has drawn attention to how the COVID-19 pandemic is adversely impacting children, who are losing educational opportunities and having their rights systemically violated because of mass hysteria.
86,000 students in Nashville – a poor, urban school district – will be denied even the chance at in-person school in August. Online only.
That'll be tough for the 31% of students who don't have a computer at home.https://t.co/Lnm9SZhszl

Though it seems many blue-check media types would be happy enough if no one ever went back to work and we all lived on magic beans forever. DO YOUR JOB. Or find another.

Big League Politics has reported on the growing mass exodus from public schools that has resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic:
A recent poll of over twenty one hundred voters is showing that the future of public schools could be in great jeopardy when communities and states come out of lockdowns across the nation.
A survey of 2,122 registered voters by RealClear Opinion Research shows that support for educational choice is very strong, and that a plurality of parents are more likely to pursue homeschooling opportunities after COVID-19 lockdowns end.
The polling results show that 40% of families are more likely to homeschool or virtual school after lockdowns, and that 64% support school choice.
John Schilling who serves as the president of the American Federation for Children had this to say about the stunning results of the survey:
“Every single family with kids in school has been incredibly disrupted by the lockdowns. With fifty five million students no longer in their normal educational setting, families are clearly considering new options and many are seeing the benefits of homeschooling and virtual schooling. This is the time for leadership and for desperately needed bold reforms to be implemented across our K-12 education system.”
Homeschooling may be the only way for parents to protect their children from the Big Brother “solutions” to the COVID-19 pandemic in the classroom.
