      It's insane and oppressive to rescind college admission on the basis of "offensive statements" teens made on social media. In order to gain admission to elite institutions, teens now have to be career-minded, perfect little angels beginning at childhood https://twitter.com/KyleKashuv/status/1140605133346283521 …

      The "offensive statements" were made in what the teen apparently assumed to be a private venue. Imagine if your BS sessions with friends at age 16 were all entered into the public record, and used to change the course of your entire life trajectory. School-marm surveillance state

      The affected individual is a conservative but that's immaterial. (Almost) everyone makes stupid, "offensive" statements as teens when they're sitting around BSing with friends. Only difference now is that the statements are preserved in an electronic record

      Our elite feeder institutions are training kids to be terrified of ever transgressing social taboos, even in private, for fear of compromising their life prospects. If those are the types of people you want dominating elite society, congrats, that's what you're going to get

          If a black 16-year-old got caught making allegedly "offensive" statements on Snapchat or something -- say, "fuck the police" or "kill pigs" -- my reaction would be 100% the same. And if your reaction would be different, maybe self-reflect on what exactly you're objecting to

          I'm cool with people fearing the consequences of throwing the n-word around. Fine with that.

          Don't you find it a bit odd that you're clearly using "people" to refer to white people and excluding black people?

          White kids will never be as terrified of the consequences of saying the N-word as a black kid is every time they hear a police siren pass by.
