(CNN) — A Parkland shooting survivor and pro-Second Amendment activist said Harvard University rescinded his acceptance as a result of racist remarks he made before the 2018 massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida.
Kyle Kashuv disclosed the rescinding Monday in a Twitter thread, acknowledging that he and classmates, then 16, made “abhorrent racial slurs” in digital messages almost two years ago “in an effort to be as extreme and shocking as possible.”
He wrote an apology for his remarks and posted a screenshot of what appears to be a June 3 letter from Harvard Dean of Admissions William Fitzsimmons, rescinding his admission.
“Harvard deciding that someone can’t grow, especially after a life-altering event like the shooting, is deeply concerning. If any institution should understand growth, it’s Harvard, which is looked to as the pinnacle of higher education despite its checkered past,” Kashuv said on Twitter.

Why would any decent person ever consider going to Harvard?
Does anyone have what he actually said in its entire context? I ask because I doubt that this kid was thinking like a KKK member when he made the remarks.
Meanwhile Virginia’s self-described “Coonman” governor is still in office.
It sounds tp me that he might have experienced difficulties while a student in Parkland due to the Promise policies in practice there. And those comments he made at that time as a victim were a result.

Harvard can decide not to serve someone for any reason but cake bakers can’t...
Has he thanked Harvard yet? He will become a much better person now.
His digital history was likely given extreme scrutiny by Silicon Valley, while Hogg’s digital history was scrubbed.
There is certainly a political mining behind this.
If you are pro-Bill of Rights, Harvard has no place for you.
There was a TV series,back in the 1960s, titled “Branded”, with Chuck Connors starring, trying to get his reputation back after being accused of cowardice. While Kyle Kashuv would not be in any way, shape, form or manner be marked as a “coward”, some tarnishes will just not wash off easily. and the condemnation, once heaped upon a person’s head, remains unforgivable in the eyes of some phony “tolerance” advocates.
He’s probably better off not going to Harvard.
Crimethink
But Harvard will defend to the death their quota “professors” who spew insults and idiocy on a clockwork schedule.
If: Libarts
Then: Swamp
He should thank his lucky stars not to be going to Harvard.
Interesting how he and Camera Hogg get treated so differently.
And there he will remain because he is a Democrat.
The American voting public today love candidates that love murdering unborn and partially born babies. They love candidates that are Anti God. The American voting public also love candidates that are homosexual or support the homosexual agenda. They also adore candidates that profess a rabid hatred of the United States of America and wish to transform it into a Third or Fourth World Hell Hole. And return it to a third or fourth century standard of living.
The is evidenced by the results of elections beginning with or before the god, idol, savior,hero, and choice of the people, one barrack obama was installed in the White House by them for eight years and they wept bitter tears because it could not be for life.
I said “decent person!”
You might be surprised to the effect money has on ‘decent’ people.
