Our universities may be irrevocably broken. On Monday, Parkland survivor and outspoken conservative Kyle Kashuv announced that Harvard University had withdrawn his admission from the school over the revelation of racist, offensive, idiotic posts written on a private Google document with friends when he was sixteen years old. Never mind that Kashuv apologized publicly for the comments; never mind that his public behavior has evinced no racism whatsoever. Forgiveness must be withheld.

Social media claims another one.
Yep told my kids years ago do not post on social media. They never listened.

Harvard is a joke. The hardest thing about it is getting admitted. That is because the well connected, the political class, and legacies cram their kids into the place and create a bottleneck.
But judging from the product, you get a far better education at any number of State Universities.
“Harvard and their ilk dont deserve our best and brightest”
And the currently do not get them. Has nobody noticed the college admission scam, the fake SAT scores, the bribes, etc? How naive to think Harvard is pure. And look at their graduates, look at their professors.
Proof of the pudding is in the eating.
What is wrong with some of you people? Harvard sucking is a different matter. They shouldn’t be getting away with discriminating against conservatives. — that they offer a trash product is a separate issue.
The same can't be said of Harvard.
It time to take down those building, sell the land, and give the money to the Indian Nations. Or maybe Minister Sharpton.
I would sue, what do you have to lose?
The is no forgiveness for conservatives.
I am a proud Ph.D. graduate (in a science) of Harvard GSAS. (I did not apply to Harvard College, and doubt I would have been admitted.)
I’m ashamed of Harvard College’s action against Kyle Kashuv. Moreover, they are accusing him—A Jew whose parents immigrated from Israel—of antisemitic remarks. That sounds more like Dumb-Dumb College than Harvard!!!! Harvard should apologize to Kyle Kashuv and reinstate him at once!!!! (They will—after all-—need someone to balance off Camera Hogg!!)
Yes, Harvard has a leftist ethos, and if you take the wrong courses or fall in with the wrong crowd you will be indoctrinated. However, Harvard still is outstanding in the sciences and medicine, so a conservative with interests in those fields can get the finest education in the world. That’s especially if he or she can work in one of Harvard’s science labs! (Hillsdale—for one—has no such facilities.)
What’s the deal when posting Twitter kerfuffles, that necessitates repeatedly, ad nauseum, posting the tweets in question?
Takes forever to find & get to the point of the kerfuffle.
Isn’t this the same harvard, who like the other ivy league diploma mills placed quotas on the number of Jewish admissions? OH, but they “matured” and “grew” didn’t they? Just like the same restrictions they now place on Asian student admissions. Gee, there’s nothing new under the sun.
Yes, very curious to see what university does accept him, if any. I fear he's been blacklisted.
I agree with Harvard on this one. Here are Kashuv's comments: Link
College acceptance of students (as freshmen) is based on the high school years, when a student is 15-18.
Kashuv wrote those comments when he was 16, not very long ago.
Those aren't the kinds of comments one should expect from a top-scoring student.
Obviously he was immature at 16.
Then again, many other 16-year-olds are not writing that kind of trash.
Politics aren't to blame, in this case, because Harvard accepted Kashuv after his visit to Washington.
Plenty of students with the same scores as Kashuv are rejected, yet he was admitted.
He's been rejected now because his comments were made public.
As a side note, the other students must've been OK with his comments when he was making them.
To be fair, he did post "KILL all the FUCKING JEWS. FUCK THE JEWS". I can see how some people might read that as antisemitic.
