My daughter is a student over there. Yesterday we attended an honors ceremony, one for her college and one for the University as a whole. Three things stood out.
1. They LOVE to tell you how great they are. Aggies talk about community and becoming an Aggie and the Aggie Network. tu talks about how great they are. A lot.
2. They sang the Eyes at the end. I noticed that several of the students, like maybe half, didn't do the hand sign. No way for me to know if they sang along.
3. Mask compliance was below 10% which was honestly lower than I expected. Of that group I'm guessing 75% were college aged. It was comical seeing a 20 year old wearing a mask walking with their 50 year old parents who weren't. Of the group of kids wearing them most were white.
The federal government was never meant to be this powerful.
