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 On Monday, Parkland survivor and outspoken conservative Kyle Kashuv announced that Harvard University had withdrawn his admission from the school over the revelation of racist, offensive, idiotic posts written on a private Google document with friends when he was sixteen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.

As far as his Harvard qualifications, they werent based on his activism. Kashuv was ranked second in his class, with a weighted GPA of 5.345 and an unweighted GPA of 3.9; he scored a 1550 on his SATs. But Kashuvs activism has been impressive nonetheless: he has worked consistently across the aisle to bring about school safety measures to protect other high schoolers, and that his terrible comments were written before the life-changing event the mass shooting at Parkland represented.
Kashuvs comments were originally surfaced by fellow students who oppose him politically, in an overt attempt to damage him. Kashuv did the right thing and issued an immediate apology:

He was brave enough to speak out.
They destroyed his future for it.

The only reason to go to Harvard is for networking. Their education is biased and subpar. They are confirmed racist against Asians.
Sees like there are plenty of other ways to cultivate networking connections. Officer Candidate School in any of the branches of the military immediately comes to mind.

Isn’t Camera Hogg going to Harvard? If he is, Kashuv could sue based on discrimination. Camera Hogg doesn’t have nearly the qualifications but he votes “correctly”.

Cut off giving fed funds to any higher educational facility that decides to deny the use of them to those who differ with their social policies.

The only reason to go to Harvard is for networking. Their education is biased and subpar. Computer Science and Engineering are huge these days. Harvard is not in the top 10 in either one.

America supports the massive leftist education industrial complex with massive government spending, and absolutely huge student debt at low interest rates, guaranteed by Fed.gov
We are the authors of our own destruction.

Please tell me you are being sarcastic. How is his future ‘ruined’? There are millions of successful people who didn’t go to Harvard.

It sucks that Harvard caved to the "outrage mob" and rescinded his admission but his life is certainly not ruined over it.
He might actually end up getting a better education somewhere else.

No conservative student should have Harvard on their radar screen, no matter how elite they are. Why would you want to attend a re-education Camp voluntarily?

I'd like to see Kyle start a GoFundMe for a company that researches the backgrounds of all college professors and administrators.
I'd chip in.

“Isnt Camera Hogg going to Harvard? If he is, Kashuv could sue based on discrimination. Camera Hogg doesnt have nearly the qualifications but he votes correctly.”
That would be a nice 100 million lawsuit against Harvard. I would love to see Trump pull all government research funding from the school and move it to Rice University or maybe University of Alabama.
