i feel a whole ass way about that
especially since black teens have been reprimanded for expressing support for BLM openly in their high schoolshttps://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2016/08/30/an-ariz-school-banned-her-black-lives-matter-t-shirt-so-she-boycotted-her-school/?utm_term=.abe573a6d91a …

how is it that black teens who are administratively reprimanded for supporting BLM couldn't get away w/an admission essay like that....
-
not to mention such disciplinary action, even for political expression, might adversely work against their college application decisions
-
b/c colleges aren't gonna look at a black students disciplinary record & think healthy political expression the same as a non-black person
-
they're gonna look at it as a reason to reject that person even if everything else theoretically lines up on paper
-
like we basically have high schools that penalize black activism but somehow the college admissions process rewards performative allyship?
-
That can't have been his admissions essay. That doesn't tell me shit about how well he can write. I wouldn't have admitted b/c app=incomplt.
