<p>Hey kids (and parents),
So it’s kind of embarassing to post here, but when I returned to my old hangout and noticed this thread, I felt like I had to say something. My roommate wrote the YDN article on Sayed, so I have a unique perspective. The guy is here to learn. He is not a terrorist, he does not have terrorist associations. He made mistakes in his life and apologized for them. We can’t expect anything more from him, nor should we deny him any opportunity to atone for the regime he supported. A lot of news outlets have taken this chance to smear Yale, for somewhat obvious reasons; it’s very easy to ***** and moan about a “elitist” and “isolated” university. Don’t believe the hype, don’t believe pretty much anything major news outlets are saying, and certainly don’t let this factor into your decision. If it does… go to Harvard, you belong there. just kidding, for those who want to jump down my throat. Good luck to all of you.</p>
