      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 …

      1/ THREAD: Harvard rescinded my acceptance. Three months after being admitted to Harvard Class of 2023, Harvard has decided to rescind my admission over texts and comments made nearly two years ago, months prior to the shooting. I have some thoughts. Here’s what happened.

      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

          The only difference being there isn't a society built upon structural racism against the police and that the police were enslaved for hundreds of years and the police have to deal with structural violence that has so much depth it's scary. It is NOT the same man.

          Aren't most people reacting to the racism? 'Cause those other things aren't racist. Hell, one of them is a great song.

          Colleges routinely revoke offers to athletes for social media offenses. This is not new. Schools counselors regularly tell kids that what they say online can harm them later.
