Yale’s British Art Center: A Shut, Open, and Shut Case

I’ve written about the Yale Center for British Art in New Haven over the years but not since 2019, months before Yale closed its great museums to the public for nearly two years. Yale, presumably flush with the best scientists and doctors on the planet, embraced the Covid mass hysteria, hallucination, and hypnosis like a geek in love’s first bloom. Its masters imposed a masking, curfew, vaccine, and inferior online-learning regime on young, healthy men and women who, they had to have known, were Covid’s least likely targets. Distinguished epidemiologists teaching at Yale’s own medical school said that a fear machine, not reason or science, propelled the Covid mania.

Yale’s daily newsletter, which I read, barely has enough space for anything but the triple hoaxes that obsess Ivy League schools: America is racist, Covid will kill us all unless, of course, global warming doesn’t incinerate us first. It’s tragic to see a great university sink under the weight of false values.
