I am a student at Wellesley College, and I could no longer sit on the sidelines. I wrote the essay below for The Brownstone Institute, and I asked No College Mandates to reprint it here. I have chosen to remain anonymous because I worry the College might retaliate against me for having written this, and also because I do not want this to be about myself or my situation. This has nothing to do with me, and everything to do with the basic idea that we should all be free to make our own medical decisions without bureaucratic mandates.

I am a Wellesley graduate and I completely agree with you. So proud of you for speaking out. Keep it up. People are scared to speak but you have more allies than you realize.
Just WOW!!!! That those in leadership positions would foist this sort of senseless coercion on students with this sort of timing no less is more of an indictment on the evil of the elite than it is on the disregard for our Constitutional (and human) rights!!
Bravo! Forwarding this to my daughter (who is a college junior) and is one of the few at her school that sought a religious exemption from the school’s vaccine mandates.
The one question, however, this author doesn’t ask is: “How much are these universities being paid for each injection?” I think that answer is far more telling.
It is incomprehensible to me that these mandates continue! This letter beautifully summarizes why the mandates need to end, immediately - and never should have occurred in the first place - and yet, some of these bastions of elite liberalism won’t let up.
This letter has to go viral, and there needs to be a class action lawsuit. What’s going on with ICAN, any progress with that?
I am a Wellesley alum. Thank you for speaking up. We alums need to put more pressure on the college to end these mandates. We also need to pressure Wellesley to return to developing minds, as opposed to pushing ideologies on students.
My mother, a Wellesley alumna, just wrote: "I am very proud of this young woman's initiative and courage and will amplify her effort to the extent that I can." Your post reached her via a friend who receives the No College Mandates newsletter. Thank you!
Excellent, excellent article! You are very brave to write the truth. I applaud you! I am concerned for my niece and nephew at Oberlin College and WPI! I am not sure of their policies, but I feel my niece is brainwashed with the whole Covid thing. These children need to be told the truth about our government, and what they have done to our country! The lies have been going on too long and are affecting our youth of tomorrow! Thank you so very much for making these scientific facts available to the public! Hopefully, more people will wake up and defend their human rights! Best of luck to you!
Based on the egregious behavior and groupthink of "top" colleges like Wellesley, I have little interest in sending my brilliant, talented kids to institutions like that. They can go to good, public, red-state schools (or forge their own entrepreneurial paths) and all parties will likely be better for it. The reputations of almost all of these "excellent" universities have been sullied for me.
Well said. I can't believe the INSANITY surrounding vaccination. By now, things are crystal clear in terms of who's at risk, who isn't and (despite all efforts of suppression) the risk to younger people. And here we are with administrators being sheep by just going along with messaging based on political and not medical/scientific reasons. It's mind boggling that political genuflection is more important than health of student body. Whatever happened to FOLLOW THE SCIENCE?
Bravo - whoever this student is needs to say WTF and come out, organize a student boycott against Wesley no matter the consequences - YOUR LIFE & HEALTH are far more valuable than an overpriced, liberal indoctrination center...

This is so well written and SO SPOT ON!!
Great piece! Keep fighting- others are waking up!!

Beautiful job on this. Hallelujah.
A Federal Judge in NY just ruled mandates are un-Constitutional. Hopefully this ruling will blanket the country.
Excellent writing!

Why are your "my body, my choice" sisters all silent about this? You're better off transferring to a less demoralized university: https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/how-to-get-into-harvard-part-2
