Good. Grief. This is what our failed educational system is producing - complete and utter morons.
Wouldn’t that sort of be making yourself a soldier? If you engage with enemy soldiers does that not mean you are fair game in the fight? Doesn’t seem very smart. Then again, he was the liberal media’s darling for an event in which he wasn’t even present. I’m not sure who has fewer brains, Hogg or the leftist media.

As an aside, It does magnify how the left has decided to “deal” with people it doesn’t like. Cancel them. That is all they have. They are worse than playground bullies.

Three of my kids were wait listed at the University of Maryland (for God's sake) with 4.3-4.5s and 1450, 1460 and 1470 SATs.

We should drop Hogg off at the Russia/Ukraine border since he's so tough. He can ride around on his bike with his camera and threaten to kick their asses.

Good idea, btw that tweet then David Hogg posted might start some rumors about him and I got the feeling then it won't age well.

UH a lot of them did some genocidal type things. Too much propaganda on both sides to get a clear what is real and what is not but A LOT of bad things have happened. Need to confirm things with outside observers.

Easy to hate some 18 year old conscript that raped/ tortured/ killled...

4.2 is median FOR HARVARD
1270 is substandard FOR HARVARD

He got in because of fame. Harvard does that.

He probably is smart enough to graduate.

No I dont like him, but numbers are numbers.

1270 is substandard for a number of schools that are a tier or two below Harvard.

Once you get into a school like Harvard a "B" is pretty much the lowest grade if you put in any effort.

Clearly he got in on "fame" which is rare. Normally it's either family name\connection or mens basketball.

1600.

1270 was "good" but not "quite good", that was 1350 and up. Although you have to keep in mind that the scoring was "recentered" about twenty years ago (I forget exactly when) which raised everyone's score 100 points or so.

There are about 260 million adults in the US and most have opinions.

Why does anyone care what this guy has to say?
