[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just another example of the lowest difficulty setting for white males.

He only had an SAT of 1270 and the average Harvard SAT is around 1500.[/quote]

What a bitch you are!! :?  :?

Gee, did your kid survive a mass slaughter of his classmates? Did your kid start a national movement to ban the type of gun that killed his classmates? Did your kid support legislation across the nation to restrict crazy people from getting their hands on guns?

No? Huh. Maybe your kid isn't Harvard material. [/quote]

+1 this kid got a million people to march as part of an anti-gun violence movement and has registers thousands of young voters.  That’s pretty incredible.  [/quote]

+1. He lived through a traumatic event and ... lobbied for gun regulations— some opt which he got passed.  Organized the peaceful school walkouts that both of  my kids — and most kids in the DMV— participated in.  Organized March for Our Lives— over a million kids in downtown DC, with hundreds of sister marches.  Registered and mobilized young voters  The only thing I’ve seen like it is Malala, who was shot and used that tragedy to bring publicity to her work for women’s education.  And was accepted at Oxford.

The kid is an activist and a leader. Full stop. Maybe not an activist for your policies.  Maybe not a leader in areas that appeal to you.  But any good college aims for diversity. The kids with a 4.0 and perfect SATs have a place, the TJ kids with serious STEM cred, like national physics olympics team members and Siemens winners.   Top notch musicians and athletes and writers.   And yes— the kid who can survive a school shooting and successfully lobby for gun restrictions and get a million kids to show up and march.

This kid will make as big a difference to the world as the perfect SAT, perfect grades kids who go on to work for Big Law or Investment Banks. Probably a bigger difference.

You can hate his politics.  That’s fair. But no intellectually honest person can say he has not already made a significant difference in the area of gun control. [/quote]
