The Stupid Never Ends
Having already kicked New Jersey governor Christie’s butt, Kaci Hickox takes on Maine. Maine governor LePage decided to just continue the quarantine imposed by New Jersy, despite the fact that Ms Kickox has no symptoms of anything. She has agreed to follow the new CDC guidelines, but she is not willing to stay locked up at her home.
A man in Connecticut is suing the local school for suspending his daughter for three weeks. The suspension is based on the child’s recent trip to Nigeria.
Instead of educating the parents who complained about the location of the Ebola outbreak, the school pandered to their paranoia.
If you don’t believe that three weeks is too much to ask, read this, and substitute ‘First they came for the health care workers’ for the first line. It is really easy to give up someone else’s civil rights and liberty.
