A teenager who survived a gun massacre at his Florida high school has said he lost his spot at Harvard University over past racist remarks.
Kyle Kashuv, 18, said the online comments were made when he was 16, and were done "in an effort to be as extreme and shocking as possible".
He had since apologised and on Monday shared what appeared to be a rescission letter from the university.
Seventeen students and faculty were killed in Parkland, Florida in 2018.
"Harvard deciding that someone can't grow, especially after a life-altering event like the shooting, is deeply concerning," he posted in a thread to his 300,000 Twitter followers.

I was actually hoping that it was that Hogg kid.

He'd probably get a scholarship to Harvard.

It's Harvard. Since the student is pro-gun, they needed an excuse to keep him out. The left bias in most of the Ivy League is pretty blatant.

Be interesting to know if the kid's "parkland connection" was the only reason he was initially accepted to Harvard in the first place.

Offer + Acceptance = Contract?

Offer + Acceptance = Contract?

No doubt the contract includes a clause permitting Harvard to be prejudiced.

Interesting how Hahvahd waited until hustle after the other college acceptance deadlines were passed and Kashuv had irrevocably rejected all other major scholarships because he had been accepted into Hahvahd and did not need the others.

I wonder if the lawsuit will get to the e-mails uncovering the obvious plot to screw this kid?
