Political protests

[CA94309]

Stanford could have privately admitted stellar students who are also passionate activists and excused a few disciplinary violations, without issuing a blanket letter condoning truancy. Instead, elite colleges’ public issuances represent a blatantly political stance that sends an unfortunate message to impressionable students.

The notion that Stanford, Harvard, or Yale would recognize the “true and heartfelt response” of a student who walks out to lead an anti-abortion protest in the name of saving the lives of hundreds of thousands of unborn children is, unfortunately, laughable.

Exactly my point. In MIT’s case, they put out a blog that purports to extol the virtues of civic engagement, while in reality its clear the intent of MITs actions was to make a political statement.
