well,, george mason university outside the beltway was among them.mong them one student in its law school came on this show to fight it, to see the administration kind of excludingt. power and balance and then leverage that against the students who were denied i a free choice. to me it's just indefensible. so two days ago i started a petition on change from george mason to repeal his mandate. >> well, shortly after that interview, the school repealed its vaccine mandate for faculty onlyy then the virginia attorney general stepped in along with a new civil liberties union and sure enough, the school relented. now students are no longer required to get the booster or be fully vaccinated in order to attend george mason. very good. el linger mangle helps you get results and we're going to continue to stay on this and other stories where the elites and the government are treating americansli unfairy . we're not going to let you down and we won't let you get taken advantage of. what happened when minority students were forced to take crt at a california sc
