“... college education consultant..”

Who do you call when you need professional lies for your application?

As Rush said repeatedly, liberals value people by what happens to them, and not by what they do to overcome those things. Like most modern prestige schools U-Penn and Oxford have two classes of students, underprivileged students to make the schools look like they care, and students who pay for the underprivileged students. My guess is that someone at these schools discovered she was white.

Having the first name Mackenzie is indeed a burden, but it's usually one the privileged inflict on their children ...

"Fierceton" is an obviously made-up name that she assumed in college, perhaps to covet her tracks.

The place is not particularly impressed with a measurable percentage of the Rhodes Scholars. The term used is, “Rhodents”.

Where there is no objective truth, why is she in the wrong? It is her truth.

Excuse me while I go vomit.

Heard him on a talk show years back. Vin Skelsa I believe. He said when his last term was up, they offered him a promotion to Major to stay in.

He said “No thanks. I’m gonna give this singer/songwriter gig a chance”.

6 months later his unit was one of the first sent to Vietnam.

Somebody informed on her. She could have been different color and if somebody informed on her it would get her into trouble. But look, exceptionally obese people usually aren’t upper middle class anyway. And not everything is about race.

Fierceton seems to have few regrets about her essays. As she told the Chronicle: “Where I’ve landed is that I have a right to write about my experiences as I experienced them. Period.”

Gotta give the girl credit. She has nailed the zeitgeist.

Nope, she has a future with the Demoncrats in politic. She would be perfect assistant for Sleepy Joe’s assistant or Hilary.

Wow, I had NO IDEA about Kristofferson’s background and accomplishments. That is truly incredible. I never cared much for his songs, but I’ll look at him completely differently now.

Sounds like Obama. Of course, he hides his true self with sealed documents.

“As a first-generation [to go to college] low-income student and a former foster youth, Mackenzie is passionate about championing young people...”

No girl with a first name “MacKenzie” comes from a poor family.

Now if her first name was. LaKanisha, then her story would be more believable.
