Wow. Sounds like just the type of kid any college would be thrilled to have.

This link has the text of the posts. He sounds, at best, unstable, at worst, a racist, anti-semitic sociopath.

Not sure who Ben Shapiro is hanging out with, but every kid I know could meet the standard of not threatening to kill people of another religion on social media.

Some ultra-conservative figures — like Ben Shapiro — have jumped to Kashuv’s defense. Shapiro wrote Monday that Harvard was setting “up an insane, cruel standard no one can possibly meet.” And CJ Pearson, another conservative activist, wrote his “heart hurts” for Kashuv.


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.

It wasn't just racial slurs or "callous" remarks, it was also comments like "I WILL [EFFING] MAKE A CSOG MAP OF DOUGLAS AND PRACTICE Kill all the [EFFING] JEWS. [EFF] THE JEWS."

There are a lot of Americans who like Israel and hate Jews. It's a very strange thing.

Trump University maybe?
@KyleKashuv
So what now? I’m figuring it out.
I had given up huge scholarships in order to go to Harvard, and the deadline for accepting other college offers has ended.
I’m exploring all options at the moment.

Ralph Northam dressed in blackface as an adult and he is still governor.

That tells you everything you need to know about how the rules are applied in our society.


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.)

He does say his parents are from Israel - I don't know if he is lying or not
