Goodbye Harvard

By now you have likely seen the news that Harvard has rescinded the the offer for Parkland school student Kyle Kashuv to attend the college after texts surfaced in which he used the N-word over and over again.

Kashuv is a gun advocate and a darling of Conservatives. Now the right wing is up in arms because Harvard pulled their offer.

Kashuv went of Fox News to talk about getting the heave-ho from Harvard and while I’m sure he expected the folks at Fox News to treat him with kid gloves that is not exactly what happened.

While it is a good bet that Steve Doocy and they guy that sits across from Steve Doocy would have given him a pass, he was being interviewed by Ed Henry and it did not take long for Henry to put the kid in his place:

The right wing wants you to believe that this was just a high school kid who muttered the N-word a couple of times. First off, the kid said it over and over again.

Second, isn’t how you act in high school one of the main things that a college looks at when deciding to accept you?

Lastly, they want you to believe that this was just something kids do.

I can assure you, when I was 16 years old, I never said the N-word and nor did anyone I know. So, the “kids being kids” excuse doesn’t fly with me.

If you want to make racist statements that is fully your right, but it also means there could be repercussions to your actions and that is what happened here.

You might not like it, but Harvard made the correct call on this one.

Good for Ed Henry for calling the kid out and not giving him a pass like so many others at Fox News would have.
