I'm sure that if he instead made Pro-BDS Tweets they would have given him a scholarship and a stipend.

Another article that says nothing except "racist". They never tell us what it is.

Before the peanut gallery comes in and tries to correct via saying nothing except "google". His "racist" comments are tamer than your average rap song.



Some people say the I word too much. Some forms of art is nothing but the N word.

You agree he should have been thrown out of Harvard?

No. But it’s their decision.

And it is their prerogative, unless it's a public university, which ASFIK Harvard isn't.

And any negative publicity from their blatant hypocrisy is well deserved

Even if it’s a public university, admission to one isn’t a right. And private universities get federal money, so they often have to play by the same rules as public universities.

Where is the hypocrisy?

Serious question. I’m certain it’s there, but I want to know the example.

That they will accept students with worse credentials because they campaigned for gun control or other "Liberal" causes.

IAWTP.

The fact that he was a conservative and pro-gun Parkland survivor makes him more impressive in my eyes than the Parkland survivors who tow the liberal line and got famous for it.

This business of determining “character” should give us all pause, especially when it’s Harvard doing the soul-peering. The history of the word is fraught. When Jewish enrollment increased during the 1920s, Harvard and several other Ivy League institutions responded by saying that academics would no longer be the sole admissions criterion. Instead, lineage and “character” would be considered. Good character often meant the proper ethnic affiliation.
