She’s another teenage girl who has surfaced recently who spat in the eyes of liberals. There is another girl who is an advocate of the 2nd Amendment and she spoke before legislators on how they would be wrong to try to put curbs on the right to keep and bear arms. Somewhere, somehow, conservatives are doing something right and some jewels are starting to emerge. They need our prayers and support.

“‘I couldn’t be more happy’

In grammatical English, that would be “happier,” my dear. But no one teaches grammar these days.”

Uh.....NO! ‘more happy’ is correct. ;-)

being white (especially a white male) drops you in points immediately.

Actually, no.

Given equivalent SAT scores and GPA the male gets the acceptance letter. White females need higher scores than white males.

Let’s just say she’s happier than a tornado in a trailer park.

Great op-ed!

I work for a college.... oh yes she is so correct. The pandering for everything non-white, non-hetero, is sickening....and my college actually says the Pledge of Allegiance at events...with “Under God”... and is still anti-white/anti-straight

I have a nephew who would like to get into med school and he showed me the list of things he needed to do with suggested groups to be involved with.

If he does well in pre-med, and has any sort of extra curricular interest at all, he should be able to get into med school.

So, what credentials did Barack have to go to Harvard?

And what credentials did he have to actually graduate?

This is too rich for words. My child was accepted to U of Michigan but declined after reading the fine print in the acceptance forms. There was a requirement that the students agree to take part in ‘activism’. Upon talking to the school, it became clear that said ‘activism’ would be whatever the school decided at the time.

A classmate decided to attend, and let me say, that poor kid has been completely swept up in the activism mentality promoted there.

But hey, their football stadium is impressive ;-)

Another take on the origins of that.

And as they say on the commercial it has to be true if it’s on the internet.

Even as a Buckeye I'm glad to see her go to a good Midwestern college, even if it has to be Michigan. I hope she succeeds.

It all depends on what her course of study is.

If it were liberal arts Hillsdale college would be the place to go or even Spring Arbor.
