Remember Aaron Kheriaty, ethics professor at UC Irvine, who was fired for refusing to be jabbed and for protesting the unethical mandates for the jabs?

Hey, my alma mata W&M appointed James Commie to a position teaching ethics at the Law School, so never say never.

Well, it is almost laughable, considering everything going on there. But as the mom of an MSU graduate and MIL of another, We can just look at our celebrated Governor, who let’s the state know during elections, she is an MSU alumnus, otherwise aligning with double A, and a school that 4 weeks before students would be allowed back on the 2021 campus in person, stated no jabs required and no masks. Two weeks later, all students must be jabbed to attend in person or get credit for online classes. Religious exemptions were accepted if you thought ahead enough to get one. The vast majority did not. This is really only a surprise that there was such a critic on campus who was published.

One of my clients here in Berkeley is a philosophy professor at UC Berkeley. He studies integrity. Hook line and sinker for masks and vax but to his credit was sympathetic to the vax death of our friend and was kind when I shared this with him back in 2021. And even didn’t boot me out when I told him I was unvaccinated. Now, did he have the courage and integrity to stand up to UC in the face of mandates for the students? nope. Any individual can exhibit personal integrity in a one on one meeting. It’s the power of the collective that becomes very destructive for individual freedom as evidenced here. That revealed itself during this period of time to me, and now, like I’m sure all of you, I completely understand how tragic human catastrophes have unfolded through history. Nothing new here besides the awareness that we all discovered.

Can we honestly call is 'personal integrity' if it applies only when we agree or it is convenient? Maybe that's why the modifier 'personal', as in our 'personal ' moral code. It seems to me integrity alone is fixed by immutable principles

Great point. It was a distinguishable difference, at least at the time, because so many people, including relatives and great friends, didn’t even extend this limited graciousness.

Well, it Depends* on which ethics definition you’re looking up. University ethics is redefined for our modern world along with vaccine definitions.

Living about 40 miles away, the stink is knock-down powerful if the winds are right.

Speaking of "the stink" emanating from the Lansing area, you may find this Michael Moore thought piece that I discovered by way of Yuri's 'stack to be interesting:

Articles like these seem to pop up mysteriously when I find myself missing my former home state. God's trying to tell me something.
