Exactly. We have been "bringing a knife to a gun fight" for far too long. You either fight to win, or you have already lost. The concept in WWII was "total war", and that is how we will need to procede. I don't care that this tyrant-in-training is only 17. He wants to play in the adult league, he will be treated as such.

Exactly.

They know this kid is toxic and want no part of it.

That's exactly what I think. Funny how these colleges cater to a certain demographic, but when the nuts get turned, they want nothing to do with it. Guess they don't practice what they preach and it's fun watching the full on hypocrisy of the left. Maybe we'll see some colleges/universities making their way back to normalcy and shy away from politics? Perhaps some of these places are starting to see the Ferguson effect on their bottom $ and are actually wising up.....

The Mizzou effect. This is what is playing in the colleges minds:

Agreed.

But... but... but... he's a SURVIVOR

Could this Hogg kid be any more of a fascist and bully right now?

Isn't it extremely ironic that people of his ilk PRACTICE THE VERY THING they are always speaking out against?

Let him continue. Encourage him, even.

Fine. Then where are all the other proponents of gun and free speech rights on these companies that have implicitly supported the suppression of both in acceding to the demands of a bunch of screaming children?

Where were they when Youtube, an Alphabet company, the same people that own Google, changed their policy to likewise suppress both?

Hell, I'm pretty sure I've seen SF members post Youtube videos, since then.

Too inconvenient, dropping these products? Or do y'all think these companies are going to stop enabling the fascists just because you say bad things about them?

In the latest example a bunch of kids, few, if any of which make purchasing decisions affecting these companies or whom were Fox viewers in the first place, got advertisers to do what they wanted. If the people who do make such decisions just bitch and moan about it, but do nothing concrete in response, then the little fascists win.

Those companies are betting that's exactly what will happen.

I would suspect that most of the rejections David Hogg has received, have very little to do with the events of Parkland and his public actions since then. His rejections from California institutions probably have more to do with the large number of applicants in the pool and his out of state residency. this stuff has been in the pipeline for a good while before the February shooting. But going forward, some schools are probably going to embrace him, and others will quietly reject/ignore him.

I saw this mentioned on another site, but I just realized that HoggHitler is turning into another child preacher and we're all familiar with another child "preacher".....Rev. Al

This teen moron is actually taylor made for UC Berkeley, UC Santa Cruz, UCLA, etc. And the UC system is often criticized for favoring out-of-state students because of increased tuition($$$$). The more logical, yet unexciting reason this asshole did not get in the UC system is because of his SAT score (posted in this thread as less than 1300). His score is way less than average, a poor score. To get into UC Davis and San Diego, 1900-2000 is the typical score. I would imagine the more commie schools like Berkeley would be higher. My son knows a kid who had "only" a 4.0 GPA and a 2200 SAT score and turned down from CAL. But he was also Asian

The UC's have been rabidly taking in out-of-state students (they need the money), however they're international students not domestic and they're all going into the STEM categories. Young Hogg, wants to be a journalist, I believe only Cal has such a department and it's a small one, UCLA I believe rolls their J-school courses into the larger Communication dept. Nonetheless, he's got a lot going against him: small program, out-of-state, low SAT, male, white, etc....

I know schools are competitive, but it seems like a 4.2 should get you into UCLA. It’s not Ivy League.

As someone who had a son graduate in that past couple years from a public high school, I can tell you without hesitation the education these kids are getting (or more aptly not getting) isn't even in the same universe with the education I got many years before. My son took every AP class offered and was part of the hardest magnet program offered in Central Florida while racking up a 3.9 gpa. He got a decent education and was accepted to four large universities. On the other hand, the kids in 'general population' took few if any AP classes, took the lightest class load possible, and stayed away from any class or program that might be termed difficult, and scored 4.0+. Most of these 'scholars' eventually ended up at the local community colleges with a small subset going to colleges like UCF and failing out in year one.

I spoke with a math teacher at my son's school his senior year and she let me know that high school calculus was being cancelled because too few students could pass the class and it was costing the school state funding. Yes, don't fix the root problem (i.e. students being unprepared for the class), just eliminate the class altogether. Brilliant!

No, the education these kids get today is no where near or on par with the education we got years ago, where the curriculum focused primarily on math, English, history, and science, and students were required to perform.

Last I heard, top score, perfect, is 1600.

Why are we discussing SATs in this thread?????

This thing is 75 pages long, gentlemen. When you contribute, make it count.

Who appointed Hogg a Saint? If he pontificates then he can get flak from those who don’t like what he says.

Read this am that the average age of the women at the march was 49,not the kids ages. Most of the moms at the march wouldn’t know a Glock from a Colt and couldn’t describe what an assault weapons was or how it worked.

The whole idea was an anti gun liberal propaganda them orchestrated by Hollywood elites and liberals. Look who funded it.

Where are Hogg's parents during all this? We only seem to see and hear him, nothing from them. And those of you who are parents, even leaving gun control and politics aside, would you allow your still a minor child to be exploited in this or any fashion?

I second what egregore posted...mom and dad have been absent (at least from what I've seen)...are they just staying low or does he have them locked away in a basement?

You might (probably would) if you were a leftist.

I believe the dad is a retired from the FBI and the mom is a leftist.
