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.

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.Stanford grads walk out as Google CEO Sundar Pichai takes the stage as commencement speaker. No mention of AI, unlike other uni speakers getting booed down this year. Story for @sfgate shortly pic.twitter.com/qvS2rJ91Ip

..." As much as most CEOs deserve this treatment"
what a dumb statement. What the heck is wrong with you?

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.

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.

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"

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.
