I think you’re promoting fake news there scaredy. The article is pretty clear, the kid did not get accepted to Stanford “just for writing BLM on [an] essay”. His ‘writing BLM” may have had nothing to do with his acceptance, and it wasn’t an essay.
A more appropriate claim would be that Fox News may have taken a tiny piece of the story and turned into a central part, in order to enrage their viewers. Which is exactly what Fox News has been doing for decades, leading to postings on RE blogs claiming “Right-Wing Media are Destroying Our Country”.[/quote]
You said it ten times better than I did. Feeling I got from coworker was that writing BLM was the ONLY thing that got him into Stanford. She then went on to say don’t let your kids to Berkeley they will turn them into kooks.
All sad really, as I have known this person for 26 years now and she was in the beginning all kindness and compassion, now all I sense is anger in her. I blame fox news, they know their audience and how to persuade THEM.
