>>STEM holding out, but don’t know for how long

For a female or “underserved” minority, even STEM has unequal standards.

What a great perk! Shoot up a school, don’t get caught, VOILA! Free college.

White privilege is forgiven?

He appears to most of us as well-spoken...

Nice one Rach. Every other word out of his maggot mouth is an obscenity with a half dozen "F-bombs" thrown into each sentence for effect. I imagine he appears very "well-spoken" to you bobbleheads in the commie lib "media".

No, they should all be given the gun of their choice.

He could probably get into Florida A & M with extra points for "diversity."

Why was he interested only in the 4 UC campuses in Southern California? Why not UC Merced? Why not Fresno State (it would be safe--Victor Davis Hanson has retired from the faculty)? Why not Texas A & M International University in Laredo, where he could get personally involved in helping people cross the border illegally? No, he just wants some prestigious university with good beaches nearby.

Drew just dropped its cost from $48,000 to $38,000 a year. That does not include room and board.

It is not a highly competitive school. Of course, they are going to accept a student from that high school. I’m surprised they haven’t accepted all the students at Parkland.

WAS PARKLAND AN IDYLLIC SCHOLASTIC SETTING OR A NIGHTMARE
Only an investigation will either dispel or prove that with those policies enforced. Students had all kinds of disciplinary problems (drugs, thefts fights etc) when attending classses there. Were scholistic standards lowered to fit fed DOJ grants ?
WHERE WAS THE DEMAND FOR FEDERAL AND STATE INVESTIGATIONS ????
It’ was not guns or the NRA It’s policies which had cops standing outside while killing was going on or some nut getting a gun the FBI knew he wasn’t suppose to... Plus a whole raft of other stuff
WAS THE DEMAND FOR STATE AND FED INVESTIGATION ON THE POLICIES WHICH CAUSED THIS NOT CONSIDERED BECAUSE THE RESULT WOULD BE EXPENSIVE LEGAL ACTION ???

Is it considered an academic qualification to have been part of a team that helped push a mentally ill boy over the edge?

The gun grabbers will most certainly receive full scholarships.

You raise an interesting point. Is there something behind this?

A white male who is not an athlete with a ho hum 1270 SAT score has zero chance of getting into UCLA. My son beat that by 150 points and did not get in. However since he is against while privilege he can take comfort knowing his spot was probably taken by a minority with an even lower score.

It sure sucks to be a white male. He needs more diversity cred. Embrace the suck Hogg.

Other students from that school, who have been studying instead of frittering away their time having a nationally televised tantrum, will get into college, so why not these ones?
Why should they get to attend a college for which they are academically unqualified, just because they managed to whine very loudly on television? I don’t see how the latter begets the former or substitutes for studying. If they want admission to college they should hit the books.
Were I an admissions officer, I wouldn’t want these troublemaking, entitled creeps anywhere near my campus.

Hogg’s public temper tantrums and the revelation of his reddit posts belie what he really is — a frustrated and unaccomplished young man who has been indulged and shielded from personal responsibility by his parents and teachers to such an extent that he is unable to cope constructively with not getting his way. Lacking any sort of self-reflection, his only solution is to lash out at the unfairness of it all. Not getting what he wants, for once in his life, will be a blessing for him.

Certainly those folks in Beverly Hills have big yards they wouldn’t mind if I build a little cabana in the back of the garden.

Survivors, plural? Please. This is an obvious attempt to place media pressure on the California system to accept one individual who doesn’t merit it. It’s a display of power, just as the attempt to ruin Laura Ingraham. The people doing it don’t care in the least about anybody but one David Hogg.
