I always find it to be fascinating how desperately the militant right wing craves validation from the academy. |
it's how they create more footsoldiers. This guy could easily become the next Ben Shapiro now He should go to Harvard be exposed to Jews and Blacks that are high performing and become a productive member of sobriety Instead he will be supported by the right wing and his views will just continue to fester |

There were far-right activists (including Laura Loomer and Jacob Wohl, I think) calling for Harvard to rescind the acceptance as well.
When you see the actual comments, which involve killing Jews and making a plan to shoot up the school, it’s hard to make an argument that there’s not a character issue along with the obvious judgment problem. This is how college make decisions about admissions— based on what a kid did in high school. Nobody’s burning him at the stake. He just doesn’t get to go to Harvard. Like 99.9% of us. |
Nah. It’s not the job of Black and Jewish students to fix this little jerk. Good for Harvard for not forcing them to put up with him. |
| He’s not an anti-Semite. His parents immigrated to the states from Israel. He just hates black people. |
Not according to his posts on social media, where he talked about "offing" all the Jews. |
|
There are a lot of Americans who like Israel and hate Jews. It's a very strange thing. |
Trump University maybe?
|
Yep. Disgusting. |
What are you babbling about? You don't need to normalize a teenager who hates Jews. |
+1 This kid doesn't deserve to be at Harvard. Let's see what college steps up to take him. He's going to definitely have to do some more public grovelling. |
I'm not normalizing him. I was saying that even if his parents are from Israel, he can be an anti-semite. Sorry if that wasn't clear. (And I don't actually know if his parents are Israeli - that's what PP was saying as evidence that he's not an anti-semite.) |
And he is a conservative.

He does say his parents are from Israel - I don't know if he is lying or not https://www.tampabay.com/florida-politics/buzz/2019/06/17/harvard-rescinds-acceptance-for-pro-gun-parkland-activist/ |
