We need more obnoxious people like him.
He did vanish, but was resurrected, like in a zombie movie.

So what other than politics did Harvard see in Hogg, that the other schools which rejected him didn't?

Ah well, even Ivy League schools make mistakes. After all, Penn admitted Donald Trump and three of his progeny.

Leadership, communication, activism, debate, public speaking, journalism(he wrote a book which was released this fall).

Harvard seeks leaders, and leadership is not about intelligence but about power of persuasion ... Harvard does not want to be full of smart Asians who will be subordinated by big corporations, they want to form the guys who ran those corporations, or you thinks that the President of Google is smarter than its engineers.

the majority of Asians, can barely express themselves in public, dislike confrontations or ideological conflicts and have serious emotional problems.

in my school there was a very intelligent Korean boy, always quiet and with few friends, one day he dropped the material of a black student, and the boy began to intimidate him ..., the Korean never showed up again in school.

Mr. Hogg was indeed there at the school during the shooting!

One of the latest rumors β€” circulated in at least a dozen stories flagged as potentially false by Facebook users β€” claims that David Hogg, a senior named in previous false stories, was not actually at the high school during the shooting.

Those stories are indeed false.

The allegations are based on an out-of-context quote from Hogg. In a CBS News documentary, the 17-year-old said: β€œOn the day of the shooting, I got my camera and got on my bike and rode as fast as I could three miles from my house to the school to get as much video and to get as many interviews as I could because I knew that this could not be another mass shooting.”

Why do you car and why is it so personal to you. You all up his business and not paying one dime for his education. Why don't you ask the people at Harvard that question, I'm sure they have a good answer for you.
