Virginia Wesleyan women’s basketball player says she was dismissed from school over Thanksgiving gathering; others disciplined

By Ray Nimmo | November 19, 2020 | 8:31 PM EST

Multiple members of the Virginia Wesleyan University women’s basketball team have been suspended from on-campus housing and face additional sanctions from the athletic department, the college acknowledged Thursday.

Virginia Wesleyan did not say what those additional sanctions are, or how many players were disciplined. The school said an off-campus gathering led to the suspensions and said in a statement that “protocols have been repeatedly communicated throughout the campus community, athletic department, and all teams.”

Senior forward Makenna McSweeney, in graduate school for business administration, disputed that and said she has been dismissed from the school in the wake of hosting a Thanksgiving team-only gathering of 13 people.

The ‘gathering limit’ in Virginia is 25 people, not a lower number that people are used to reading about in other states. A gathering of 13 people did not constitute a violation.^[1]I have presented this only for information purposes; this does not mean that I accept the idea that the government, at any level, can simply suspend our constitutional right to peaceably assemble. Thus, being punished for a gathering of fewer than 25 people must be a school rule, not the state’s.

An altercation between a neighbor and player occurred near the end of the two-hour event, and McSweeney said the neighbor’s subsequent call to the school led to the punishment.

So, what was the complaint? The article notes that “charges have been filed,” but does not give any details. What charges? Was the altercation physical or just verbal? And if the altercation involved only one player, that player not being Miss McSweeney, why is she the one being dismissed from VWU?

“We were called in (Wednesday), myself and the teammate that was in the altercation,” McSweeney said. “They said the neighbor had basically threatened to sue the school if we were not dealt with. The only claim they had is that we had a social gathering. The school can’t give us an explanation for (the punishment).”

OK, perhaps Miss McSweeney should have been dismissed from the college, for her atrocious grammar, but she is, apparently, being kicked out because she had her friends on the team over for a pre-Thanksgiving dinner. The officious little prick Karen got her way, getting the team members kicked out of their dorms, and Miss McSweeney expelled from school.

It should be noted that Virginia Wesleyan is the same college which fired forced professor Paul Ewell to resign after another officious little prick made public a private Facebook message in which he asked those who voted for Joe Biden to ‘unfriend’ him.

Is this really to where we’ve come? Are we really living in a society in which snitching for violations of COVID-19 rules has become acceptable, become the norm? The routine violations of our constitutional rights, the complacent acceptance of such by so many people, and the busybody nature of the “I’m going to tell on you!” over things which are not, and cannot be, crimes has led to far more damage to our society than the virus ever has.
