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:
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.
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.
