Kamil Bachouchi — Wilfrid Laurier student calls out mask mandates

Kamil Bachouchi is a fourth year philosophy student at Wilfrid Laurier University who recently posted a rather creative tweet that highlighted the absurdity of his university's mask mandate. This tweet went viral.

During our conversation, Kamil shared what being a student at Wilfrid Laurier has been like over the past two and a half years, in particular the challenges faced by students who were unwilling to disclose their Covid-19 vaccine status to the university. He walks us through the current social climate at the university and what treatment students are currently subjected to as a result of the schools masking policy. Kamil's blatant honesty, a courageous act these days, has had a profound effect on other students - encouraging them to use their voices to stand up for their innate human rights.
