Teen (muslim kid) Accepted to Stanford After Writing #BlackLivesMatter 100 Times on Application

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/teen-accepted-stanford-after-writing-blacklivesmatter-100-times-application-n742586


Have a close relative - her parents are immigrants, and have done well, living the American dream. Outstanding resume - when she visited Stanford, she was told "don't bother applying if you haven't suffered"
She ended up at an Ivy League school in CompSci (so it wasn't a **** major either)


Would be interested in seeing their definition of "suffering". Bet it didn't include physical activity.


I think they mean like you came to the US escaping war. I know someone whose brother got into Stanford and their parents came to the US as refugees from a war-torn country. But then the daughter of a relative of mine got into Stanford in Health Biology and graduated a couple of years ago and is now is at an Ivy League Med School. I have no idea how these schools pick kids. Some seem so random.

Google CEO Sundar Pichai was the commencement speaker at Stanford. He is an alum himself. A batch of students walked out of their own graduation. The reason for this walkout was that Google has ties to Israel.

As much as most CEOs deserve this treatment, the reason here is dumb. Companies are going to do business with as many clients as possible and if you don't like their customers, find another company. Google isn't doing any illegal business, dealing with Israel.

These demonstrations are by clueless virtue signalers and if I were to guess, they would be problematic employees when they get into the workforce.

    Protest over Google
    What we know:

    The protest kicked off at Stanford University Stadium during a commencement address by Google CEO Sundar Pichai.

    Videos circulating on social media showed some graduates booing and walking out of the ceremony as Pichai began speaking, citing concerns over Google's ties to Israel's government.
    Stanford students have been highly active on the issue.

    The campus has seen more than a year of protests, with students calling for the university to divest from companies with ties to Israel's war on Hamas, which has left more than 73,000 people dead. During previous demonstrations, 13 people were arrested following a sit-in at the university's administrative offices.

    Stanford University has been reached out to for comment, but officials have not yet responded.





    ..." As much as most CEOs deserve this treatment"

    what a dumb statement. What the heck is wrong with you?

    Most of those leaving look like minorities.

    Effing spoiled, ungrateful, ignorant, and overrated idiots. I am not joking, in most money-making industries, your average modern Texas Tech grad would make a better, more well adjusted employee than most of those hyper-entitled, spoiled, unkempt looking freaks.

    ..." As much as most CEOs deserve this treatment"

    what a dumb statement. What the heck is wrong with you?

    Most CEO's were perfectly fine with Biden's tyrannical and unprecedented decree to mandate that all employees receive a completely experimental "vaccine" or get fired. And this was after a rough couple of years for many as it was. So many already struggling (plus inflation).

    Their cowardice borders on evil in my book. If any of them spoke up, I never heard it.

    Money and self-worshiping idolaters. Utmost cowards and I will never forget their b*tch ass behavior when I had a newborn and wife had lost her job.

    Again, talking about the major CEO's. Tons of good small and medium business CEO's. Very very few good and decent Fortune 500 CEO's.

    Nothing wrong with me, I just call it how it is and have a basic functioning memory.

    Had a classmate. I graduated school in '96, so this is decades ago. He talked about how much harder school was because at Stanford (where he transferred from) the classes were so easy.

    Self-admistered, some with no grades, la-la-la-la. You get the picture. Now he said getting in was a bear, but once in, you were good as long as you could fog a mirror.

    Its the same in the Ivy leagues. They've always the policy of a "gentleman's C" as they call it. Basically, If you were smart enough to get in, you deserve at least a passing grade in their minds.

    These were the graduates that the US State Department was hiring before Rubio took over and they will again as soon as the heat is off. They will find jobs with NGOs and think tanks and blue states until the swamp is back in charge.

    The headline should read "Jew Hating Stanford Grads walk out of their own graduation to stand against Israel"


    About like "Jew Hating F16 Posters Continue attacks against Israel 'Political Positions'"…

    At some point, people have to recognize where the antisemitism is right now in the US. It's not a great place.

    Edit to Add: I am happy to back it up with plenty of evidence. At some point, it needs to be reigned in. It WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED if this was 2020 and the target was 'different'.

    This is NOT on the moderators or the owners of TexAgs. It's on the posters being better people.

    Be better.

    I graduated in '89 and if students walked out to defend Russia, they would have been ridiculed non-stop.

    Fortunately A&M was very conservative and pro-American and anyone thinking of doing that knew better.

    The students need to look at their schools history, Stanford has a long history of partnering with the US government, largely the military and CIA.

    Going to Stanford doesn't mean you're smart. It means your parents know how to game the system or you're some kind of minority or foreigner.
