Harvard did not even have the balls to meet with him after he requested a face to face meeting.

There’s a peculiar inconsistency in Mr. Kashuv’s wanting to attend Harvard in the first place. His public statements and articles indicate an awareness of the intellectual vacuity of the elite-university milieu. However, it appears this awareness was irrelevant when he had a chance at the Big Name.

Maybe he is learning that fortuitous teen celebrity is not all it’s cracked up to be.

Nonsense.

Most "selective" and "highly selective" university degrees are not coin of the realm, but the red "H" with "Ve•Ri•Tas" is most definitely worth it, in terms of cashing in.

If you get in (improbable, for almost all) - you should go.

I wonder about the fact that no one has mentioned his pro gun stance with Harvard and they were just looking for any reason to keep a conservative pro 2nd Amendment person out of the university?

Yes, you restated my point.

I can't wait for the Governor of Virginia to be invited to be the commencement speaker at Harvard next May.

Would be humorous if someone now produced old logs showing Hoggy boy had used the N-word 4-5 years ago and watch how Harvard would twist and turn to explain it away.

Kashuv will likely be better off in the long run elsewhere. He would likely have been mired in controversy and graded down by lib profs throughout his Harvard experience.

...the most egregious sins of our era—bigotry...

Give me a damned break!

Murder, rape, robbery, assault, sexual predation, sexual assault, etc, etc...just fell to the wayside, huh?

Stoopid, stoopid liberal mindset.

I think the kid is lucky that Harvard turned him down... He can used that as a stepping stone to bigger and better things... Nowadays there are a whole lot of folks who think those who come from “Harvard” are far more a burden for our country then an asset... Their breeding ticks and Botflies...

Yes.

But you are missing the point. The label of “racist” or “racism” is the cattle prod in which the left is using to herd conservatives out of the main stream of our culture.

And best of all (for them) they get to define what is and what is not racist. Once a person is labeled as “racist” the entire weight of the left goes into action to destroy that person.

So it is important that these types of stores are not about “racism” it is about control.

Yea, but they caught him at a bad time with admissions decisions already closed, he cannot retreat to a “safe” school. And who is to say that any school would accept him? Depends on how bad the comments were. Even if Liberty U or Hillsdale College took a chance with him, his sins might really tarnish their image.

Meanwhile (camera) Hogg gets into Harvard well below the academic standards just because he’s a blooming liberal punk.

Meanwhile, David Hogg gets into Harvard; I’m sure it wasn’t because of his grades. In a more sensible era, Hogg would have needed to take his senior year in high school over again, because he did not attend classes after the shooting.

Personally, I don’t know why anyone would want to go to Harvard. It’s the place affirmative action kids go to be given a diploma. Harvard’s reputation is in the toilet. He needs to go to school somewhere else. JMO.

I can’t even remember the name of the book I read it in but it was about the Cultural Revolution in China. The behavior is reminiscent of the Chinese youth at the time who would call out anyone even on the suspicion of having thoughts or ideas incompatible with the Glorious Revolution and the will of the people. Many older communist elites were taken down in the cleansing. The Democrats seem to be going through their own cleansing atm along with trying to take down the rest of the country

A decade, more or less, later, he will say thank you to Harvard for not allowing him into their elitist and racist fake higher education bs.

Allegedly he made comments? Prove it, Harvard.

"His public statements and articles indicate an awareness of the intellectual vacuity of the elite-university milieu. However, it appears this awareness was irrelevant when he had a chance at the Big Name."

It is unfortunate that Mr Kashuv's actions do not clearly show to all that not all animals in the rendering chutes of Harvard are equal to each other.

"In short, even the medieval Inquisition, with all its fabled cruelties and abuses, offered more nuance and empathy than our modern-day liberal overlords.

Though the stakes are not nearly as high—Kashuv has not been executed, only denied admission to an Ivy League university—the heretics of our day are treated more harshly than the heretics of yore."
It should be a considerable comfort to know that when you are destined to be publicly impaled as an example for the others, that the stakes are not nearly as high.

Don't go there then.

A Harvard degree is worth many multiples of what it costs to get it.
