She can have it. I’d rather go to a trade school without the socialist propaganda.
And after four years she will come out with no real learning, just propaganda in her otherwise empty skull.
Harvard - Finishing School for the aristocracy.
Exile them all to Attu.
She has to sit out a year first...probably to get some remedial work done.
Apparently she can’t even handle a liberal arts major there with sympathetic professors.
Harvard’s been servicing the spawn of bigshots for hundreds of years. That’s their business model and it has been highly successful.
I’m sure we’ll all be lucky enough to hear the likes of Ellen Degeneres gush over the “amazing” Malia five years from now when she’s out pimping her pet cause. Just like the “amazing” Chelsea Clinton.
I was told she went to the elite and selective Sidwell Friends school in Washington DC ( the same school Chelsea Clinton went to ).
If she still needs remedial work after that, then even that elite high school is wanting.
You assume she’ll actually attend any classes in person. I posit that it’s far more likely she’ll take most of the same “classes” her father took, which he somehow passed without anyone recalling having ever seen him in the classroom.
She’ll be granted a degree in “Political Science” or some similar wonk profession and start walking the same path Chelsea Clinton and so many other descendants of the US political elite have trod, landing immediately upon graduation a surprisingly-well-paying position at some quiet think tank.
All the ‘right’ schools didn’t help Chelsea Clinton. She got entree to good jobs but didn’t know how to take them anywhere, and was eventually shown the door. Kids whose parents do everything for them and ease the way are NOT helping in the long run.
This reminds me of a character on 30 Rock, a TV show that occasionally mocked liberals: Toofer. She’s a toofer.
I know someone who remembers seeing Obama on campus when she was at Occidental.
I would love to know her grades and test scores.
What are the odds that Malia discovered that there is no way that Sidwell Friends wants to flunk the black daughter of the 1st black president and she was allowed to skate her way through her years there?
I hate to say it but, what will Barry do if she gets pregnant before she starts?
>>>Harvard - Finishing School for the aristocracy.

Those of us living in Alaska don’t really want them.
I think the Obamas paid through the nose to have a good student there.
I have problems with affirmative action which basically has partially destroyed the hopes and dreams of minorities to have good jobs.
What I have seen in USC as an example was minorities let in due to their minority status and not for their intelligence. But this isn't State College and all these unprepared students failed to graduate and dropped out.
This is HORRIBLE because they could have easily graduated most State College systems and made money in life. Instead Affirmative action screwed them.
The same money behind the Clinton Foundation is behind Harvard University. They shouldn’t be trusted with our kids any longer.
Back in the antediluvian age, I got into the Ivy League based on excellent qualifications, PLUS coming from a State that was under-represented in the Ivy League. With continuing hard work and by making an actual contribution to science, I ultimately was awarded a Ph.D. from Harvard.
That was the way a student from a middle-class family made it into the Ivies. There were different rules for the elite, as there still are.
Nowadays, “geographic preference” is NOT based on coming from an under-represented State, but from the “right” country or “minority”. China is in NO WAY “under-represented’, but LOTS and LOTS of students are admitted from China—to Harvard and all the other Ivies and near-Ivies.
When I went to college and graduate school, they did NOT teach the bogus thing now called “diversity”, or require students and faculty to follow its dictates. Even by the time that I was doing research and teaching as a faculty member in a near-Ivy university, one had to “watch what one said” about “gays”, feminazis, and minorities.
In 2016, transsexuals and muslims have been added to the mix. And one can get a degree—even from Harvard—in “diversity” studies, and learn absolutely NOTHING!!!! As for contributing to knowledge or culture—forget about it!!!!
Nevertheless, the children of the elite are socialized by their peers and professors to be leaders of the elite classes. It’s too bad that these mis-leaders will know next to nothing and will be ill-prepared emotionally and spiritually for real leadership.
A Trump presidency may help to turn this all around—by the help of God!!!!
I would HARDLY call Harvard the GOLDEN ticket more like a liberal bastion of PROPOGANDA even if I were able to send a child there, over MY COLD DEAD BODY would I allow them to cross that threshold!!!!!
