Yes, he’s a top public school student - he’s learned the aggrieved-victim narrative very well and already knows how to wield it.
They really could really use some lessons in what most of us learned in Kindergarten - "sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me".
There is nothing to apologize for.
That was her opinion. Most opinions are still legal in America. She works on an opinion news show.
I hope she doesn’t crumble.
If this kid is so smart, he should be big enough to move on.
He is starting to make her look correct in labeling him as
‘Obnoxious’. My bet is it’s the mother who cannot handle having her methods criticized or seen objectively.
Kind of a shame that the kid can not have a conversation with Jackie Robinson, who had to deal with racist Democrats during his years in the Army (and that was before he challenged the racist Dems in baseball).
I want to see his test scores.
“I apologize to the misled youth of this nation, including the Puppet King, for the democrats unscrupulous exploitation of their innocence to further advance their political power and greed in the ongoing war to destroy the culture and wealth of this great nation and its citizens.”
I wouldn’t apologize, not to an easily offended whiner.
I’d rub salt in his wounds instead.
Who’s Michael Brown and why should I care?
If you're angling for scholarships, it makes sense to apply to as many colleges as you can. There's nothing ridiculous about that.
But making where you got accepted public for the whole country is obnoxious. So is asking for an apology from somebody who is just expressing an opinion.
Good grief!
So apparently these two news anchors are so stupid that they either believe that these colleges offer one, and only one, full funded scholarship per year, or that if someone turns down their offer then they don't offer it to another deserving student. Kind of makes you wonder if news is really fake? Or it just sounds fake because it's filtered through morons like these two.
This seems sort of silly to me. I was annoyed at my kid because she only applied to about 3 schools and none were really “safe”. She did get accepted to one, which obviously is all you need. Applying to 20 seems a little over the top. It costs money to apply to each one too, I think it’s about 50 or 75 bucks for each application.
I’d like to see the “affirmative action” test scores too!
The news anchor did not understand the game. And it has nothing to do with the kid, or his mother. The kid applied to numerous colleges because his high school’s college counselor told him to. The high school gets bonus points for sending better kids to the college. The colleges get brownie points for accepting kids “of color” even if they did not enroll at the school (at least they tried). Everybody wins, accept the kid who spends extra time enrolling everywhere. It may cost the kid a little more, but not likely too much. Some colleges wave the fee for kids like this.
A kid who “identifies as black or native American” and can get a 30 on their ACT is gold to these colleges. And gold to the high school. There are so few out there. And nobody wants to admit that. Also, nobody wants to admit that they don’t have many black students. So “identifying” raises the pool.
The reality is that students of color is easy if you include Asian and Hispanic. Asian has the obvious advantage of high test scores and even higher grades. If anything they are quota’ed out of their rightful place at many colleges like Harvard. And Hispanics are too easy to get. As anyone with a Spanish last name can play that card. You can have blond hair and blue eyes and lived in this country going back 150 years and be legitimately Hispanic if your name is Rivera. And of course the colleges are looking for that group too (blonde blue eyed Hispanics).
Not to defend the kid, but I wonder when this anchor applied for a job, how many TV Stations did he send his resume and audition tape to?
It would be interesting to see his grades and test scores and see how many white and asian kids with comparable metrics ran the table on admissions.
Notice how EVERY SINGLE nationally-heralded student who “got into every school they applied to” in the past 5 years is BLACK. Not Asian or Indian, as logic would predict. But Blacks. Where are the Asian groups demanding to see his transcripts and scores, and those who were rejected in his place. I betcha he scored lower than at least one Asian or White in every one of the Ivy league schools.
He will choose Harvard.
Yes, I am a psychic.
