Are little kids now supposed to dream of growing up and going overseas to study?
Are todays children even going to aspire to excellence?

(194 posts)I think democrats should tread lightly here. Yes, defending academic independence and freedom is important, but Harvard and the Ivy League are not sympathetic victims and not likely to get democrats any political traction.
Much of the public at this point feels more than a whiff of resentment at the elites and their institutions.
Remember Cruz, Rubio, Hawley, and plenty of others on the right are Harvard grads too. Plenty of ass holes have come out of these schools.

Krasnov got help to be admitted to Wharton, Krasnov's older brother Fred, was very good friends with the admissions officer.
Yes, one of Krasnov's professors at Wharton called Krasnov the dumbest goddamn student he ever had.
Krasnov's claim about finishing 1st in his class was a lie. Wharton's record of people who graduated with honors does not mention Donald Trump.
Michael Cohen, who was Krasnov's lawyer, threatened to sue Penn back to the stone ages if it released Krasnov's grades.
Nice article to read.
