This guy was a Senior and his major was English???? How did someone who writes like a 5th grader make it all the way through college, especially if his degree was in English? Wonder what grade he made on these plays?

Back in the Dark Ages when I was in college, we had about 50 Iranians suddenly enroll. Even back then, they were full of hate and it was very plain they didn't want to be there. They never said hello, never smiled at you in passing, never participated in class, and who knows if they could speak English or write it. The professors were ordered to pass them even if that meant American students failed with the bell curve. This sounds very much like the same.

Yeah, but this guy had lived in the States since he was 8 years old. He went to a regular American high school. I don’t think he would be “passed” due to the fact that he was a foreign student (lots of times the foreign students pay so much $$$ because they’re not residents of the state and that is the incentive to keep them in school.) Cho was an in state resident which meant his tuition would be low. Were the standards for writing so low that he was able to pass with such poor writing skills?
