This is a pretty old story iirc
This isn’t uplifting. It is sad that priorities had her born in jail.
She wants you to be sad, is all about prejudice. She even uses it on herself as her introduction. IMHO I would had done my best to keep that fact hidden had it happened to me (still, how would I know what it feels). She exploits that fact. Good for her, but it’s not sad.
Why? It doesn’t say why her mother was in prison for, so it could be justified.
No - what I’ve argued is that it does not unjustify the mother’s imprisonment. I don’t think it really matters if a child was born in prison or not, as long as the sanitary and medical conditions were proper (that is - in the prison’s infirmary and not into the cell’s toilet). Growing up in prison is a different matter, which no child should be subjected to, but here it says her father took her and raised her outside.
Hey no one look at the corruption of the legacy admissions. Everyone get distracted with the shiny object.
Fuck Harvard
Taxpayer funded playground for rich kids to “network” encouraging a good ole boys system
Partially true. I know a non-legacy, non-rich, Asian person that went there. Of course, he was incredibly smart and involved in many extra-circular activities in high school.
I cannot fathom that universities no longer can consider color/race/ethnic - but they can totally let rich alumni’s kids in no prob.
fuck all legacy bullshit.
I guarantee you that this is next on the chopping block, but it won’t be caused by conservatives.
I’m not trying to make it sound like I’m NOT saying fuck Harvard, but I just looked at their financials for '23 and they’re actually not taxpayer funded, except for research funding.
They are a non-profit which means they aren’t paying taxes. There is zero practical difference between the government giving you money and the government not taxing you. Either way you get more and the state gets less. And that is just Harvard by itself, that doesn’t include all the tax breaks people get for donating to them so their spoiled brat can get a spot. Basically the taxpayer is subsidizing bribes.
This of course ignores that they openly defied the government when they were asked to clear the whole AA mess up. All it would have taken was them to just show their entrance criteria and put the issue to rest.
Good for her, but it’s not like she spent her childhood in jail. Useless article in my opinion, without any details. Maybe she had a perfect childhood.
