How about a woman who thinks all men are pigs. Does she not have a right to an education anymore because schools are supposed to reject her?

Can a hospital refuse to treat a racist? Can cops refuse to protect them? Can firefighters refuse to put out fires in a racist house?

All those who support Harvard's decision need to explain why other schools shouldn't follow Harvard's example and if every school does what happens to a students right to an education of they hold aboherrent views.

So nowadays there is a movement to allow convicted criminals to attend college, but s racist cannot? That's beyond stupid.

Kind of a strawman. Not every school has adopted this policy for every kid. THIS school made THIS decision for THIS kid based on THESE SPECIFIC actions.

+1 Some school will likely accept this kid. He is not entitled to be educated at Harvard, after having his violent racist words published. Plenty of other far more deserving kids were rejected from Harvard too.

Don't worry, this kid will just go work for Fox News.

There are plenty of rolling admissions colleges he can still go to. He could even get into state flagship University of Florida with his stats and connections. Of course a public U is too low for this little con artist twerp.

He was going to take a gap year anyway. So he doesn't even need to limit himself to rolling admission colleges.

I am reading this thread with growing dismay.

More and more Republicans in this country are catching the worst kind of mental sickness fueled by hate.

He can go to college. He just can't go to college at Harvard. State schools are public institutions that can't discriminate against applicants based on speech. He can go to a public flagship without a problem. Harvard is a private institution. It can do whatever it wants re. speech.

I predict he'll go serve a year in IDF to extinguish his anti-semitism jokes and establish some mensh bonafides.
