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 childhoodhttps://twitter.com/KyleKashuv/status/1140605133346283521 …

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 fine with this. We tell kids not to do things because they'll become part of their permanent records. That's what this is. Nobody's entitled to a Harvard education.

Yes exactly, we tell 16 year old girls that get pregnant that it’s their responsibility and they should of thought of that before opening their legs but I’m supposed to have empathy for someone who chose to say this like a defiant child for kicks....please.

Harvard is a private institution; they reject way more people than they accept, and can afford to be choosy. End of story.

Yep - and conservative love to yell "free market" until one of them gets a boot from a private entity

I’m fine with kids being scared of saying the N word. Seems a pretty low bar

Imagine the horror of living in a country where people realize bigotry isn't something countenanced in civil society.

I'm fine with racists getting weeded out of higher institutions. I support their diminished life prospects.

Racism is not a social taboo. That's something someone who fully benefits from white privilege would say.

Kids SHOULD be afraid of saying vile racist things, and their racist entitled parents should also be afraid enough to teach them what is racist and what is not. The things said in private are a true record of who this person is, and that’s exactly what colleges are interested in

If the future rulers of the world are scared of the N-word — or scared, period — that’s a good thing.

So true, but look at the shining example we have pretending to lead our country. His actions don’t appear to have consequences and we see more and more of it...Every. Single. Day.

1. Racism isn’t a ‘social taboo’, it’s a moral failure. 2. For all of their history up to now, those same elite feeder institutions were teaching kids that there were NO consequences for racist acts. That kid just learned otherwise.

These kids today you speak of grew up in the age of the internet so they are even more well aware of what transgressions to leave up on a Google Doc or Messenger. If he wanted to keep his N-word rants to himself it’s called a diary bro.

Or in his case, a manifesto
