[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You all better be damn sure this "Anonymous" posting stuff is truly private lest your stupidity is discovered.  Clearly any college that admitted your kids if discovering the identity of the authors of these posts would have to rescind admission merely on the notion that imbecility is likely hereditary.[/quote]

^ this really is the attitude, right? it is in line with the assumption that your kid probably did racist horrible stuff too and you'd better just hope that no one finds out about it. it was like during the kavanaugh hearings and all these people who seemed completely sure that their kids had sexually assaulted girls too and hopefully their lives of privilege would never be disturbed by having done it.

but by all means must be tough on crime for others.[/quote]

It was a private post.  Perhaps one should just hand over all private papers when applying to college.
[b]His defense was that he and his friends were trying to out-offend each other.[/b]  Do I know whether that he meant it?  Do you?  Does Harvard?  The answer to all three is no.[/quote]

+1  And 99.9% of kids don't make racist, violent remarks the way that kid did.  But 99.9% of kids don't go to Harvard. No one is saying that he's not young, and that he has the chance to redeem himself.    But Harvard isn't obliged to help him redeem himself on the off chance he grows into a more caring human.[/quote]
