I think this is where people differ philosophically- many people think that if they stay within the rules, it is ok to travel- and that is understandable.

I also think it's important to be really specific about what a real quarantine looks like- it doesn't include dance classes or 1:1 privates or even trips out to get essentials if you are really doing it right. Some states can test out - that fits the rule book, but doesn't really speak to the timeline of this virus.

The bigger question is whether traveling at all is a good public health choice during the pandemic.

My family is saying no to travel at this point, even if we could meet quarantine/testing requirements upon our return to our home state. Others are coming at it differently- and so they travel.

I don't fault those that travel. As long as they follow the rules of their state, it's fine with me.

But... I do think this kind of non-essential travel may lead to stronger restrictions down the road, and as a parent that is really looking forward to a potential major in the summer, I might be inclined to side eye some of these schools (not just Kenny by the way) if it turns out majors are shelved due to exponentially increasing numbers.
