I hadn't thought of this angle before. However, I do think there is a difference between admitting him as a student and having him on the faculty, which would indeed be stunning hypocrisy.

Left-wing academics almost always think and act like pre-teen adolescents. If they were real adults, they'd have real jobs and make real contributions to society. But, they're not, they're, with rare exception, muddle-headed children.
So, why is John Fund, or anyone else for that matter, surprised when they act like spoiled brats.

Maybe Yale can admit some Islamic Jihad members, too. I wish those dumb Yale leftists had to live under Sharia. They would be in for a rude awakening.

What's This Taliban Guy Doing At Yale? Perhaps training for the next politically expedient bit of political theater.

I can't believe this. I'm surprised he hasn't been attacked. Where is the outrage?

I'm glad Yale rejected the Supreme Court's decision, which also included stopping government funding if they remained in noncompliance.

Is that a picture of the Yale graduating class of 2016?

This Taliban believer at Yale bumps an American student off the accepted list, and they're fighting military recruiters on campus. But who cares about that in the larger scheme of things? They're smart, elitist, Progressive thinkers who know so much more than the average lowly taxpayer who helps pay for professors and clean toilets, but whose kids don't stand a chance of getting in. If I were a Yale alumna, they wouldn't get one more dime. Ever.

I wish those dumb Yale leftists had to live under Sharia. They would be in for a rude awakening.There was an article posted here at FR a week or two ago that posited the theory that many of these Progressive actually would welcome being forced to live under the harsh rule of some of the regimes they champion.
After thinking about it a while, I've come to the conclusion that there may be something to that idea.

There is an interesting term in that article attempting to explain what has happened to Yale..."status anxiety."
Here is a link that defines that term: Status Anxiety.
After reading about Alain Botton's new book, I am beginning to see where and why many of the American left are going off the deep.

What I want to know is, how did Mr. Taliban Spokesman not wind up at Guantanamo? In all the chatter about him being at Yale, I've not heard one person answer that question, and darn few have even asked it.
To: hershey
They are the left allied with the Muzzies against the west. This cannot be any clearer. Treason, sedition, and the US cannot find the will to do a thing about it.

Americans, don't let your sons and daughters apply to Yale. (Harvard's probably laughing like crazy.)

They're actually probably steaming that Yale's getting all the press coverage right now.

Ignorant, self-assured, doctrinaire, unapologetic. Rahmatullah fits right in at Yale. What's not to like?
