If he's smart enough to even be offered a place at Harvard then I'm sure there'll be plenty opportunities open to him.These kids should be allowed to take a stand in public on their principles without fear of being hounded by irrational idiots with opposing views.
Maybe there's lessons to be learned about how damaging it is to keep ratcheting up this kind of behaviour.
Just to update on this, Kyle turned down a full ride to NYU in order to go to Harvard.
And he was clearly saying awful things as a joke. One of the things he said was "kill all jews". Lol uhhh...he is a jew.
Even Cenk from The Young Turks doesn't think Harvard should have rescinded it. And this was purely political.
And those who seem to be okay with this seem to be the same ones who want 16 yr. olds to be able to vote.
