As for his application to West Point, Whalen said that admission officials had been made aware of the situation.

“They’re trying not to let this affect his application status,” said Whalen. “It won’t be held against him.”

However, Col. Deborah McDonald, the head of admissions at the military academy, said in a recent Fox News interview that her concern would be how a 20-day suspension would impact the student’s academic standing — something that has also been a concern for his family.

Finish the stupid semester as home school. Kid will probably do even better academically. And he won’t have to put up with the jealous little gay nerd who turned him in.

Sounds like West Point is establishing a political CYA position, so they can still reject him for academic standing reasons over this incident. As if a 20 day suspension could possibly affect his many years of establishing his qualifications.
