Harvard and Jared Kushner. WaPo opinion piece.

[Grins]

The title in the WaPo is: "How Harvard helps its richest and most arrogant students get ahead."

And the concluding paragraph...

"It’s not unlike what we see in today’s White House, where flunkies tout the brilliance of a president who plainly struggles to grasp the finer points of any number of public policy questions. ...I’m reminded in particular of the various accounts of presidential son-in-law Jared Kushner’s Harvard acceptance, which strongly suggest that his way was paved with family money and connections. It’s a system that polishes privilege, its byproduct a contempt for earned authority."

Kushner? Hell, how about C+ Augustus getting into Harvard's MBA program after dodging the war in Vietnam? It's not the fact that he attended; it's how the hell did he manage to get in in the first place!

I'd like to see his grades. More - I'd LOVE to see Sarah "Miss Five-Colleges" Palin's!!! Yucks for everyone!!!

1. I have known 3 people from different times in my life

who were either students at or graduates of Ivy League schools. Two were from Princeton and one from Harvard. They didn't know each other and I knew them years apart. They all told me THE SAME EXACT STORY. The hardest part of going to Princeton or Harvard or any of the Ivy League schools was the "getting in part" and once you were there, No Worries!

One of these women said to me "Going to Harvard is like being in the mob..they don't let you leave." If you are failing, they will have a tutor hold your hand the entire semester to make sure you pass and then your grade will get inflated.

They all seemed to believe that students going to U.C.L.A. or The University of Michigan or a number of other highly ranked state institutions were getting a better education then the students at Princeton or Harvard because these other students had to actually work hard for their grades.
