Eight students of Indiana University recently went to court to object to the University's requirement that all students be vaccinated against COVID. They said the policy was unconstitutional, violated the 14th amendment, and violated state law.
The part of the 14th amendment they were talking about says that no state may deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.
It's not clear whether it was life or liberty or property that the university was trying to deprive them of, but that's what they said.
Isn't it touching to see young folk following in the footsteps of their conservative elders? No, you say? We agree.
So did federal judge Damon Leichty, who ruled against the students, pointing out that IU students had compiled with other vaccination requirements for years -- vaccinations that have included diphtheria, tetanus, measles, mumps, rubella, and meningococcal disease.
The upshot is that since the state of Indiana has banned the use of "vaccine passports," compliance is only enforced by the honor system. So it's not just that these students are idiots -- they're shout-out-loud, in-your-face idiots, just the kind you want to see sitting alongside your kid in class.
While young people generally have milder symptoms of COVID, they can and do get sick and pass along the disease, in addition to helping along the development of new strains such as Delta and Lambda.
