Editorial: Boycott out of bounds
Herald Staff Saturday, March 31, 2018
The David Hogg experiment would be captivating if we were all just spectators, but the latest twist in the spectacle reveals a destructive element sure to metastasize quickly.
Last Wednesday, Fox News host Laura Ingraham tweeted, “David Hogg Rejected By Four Colleges To Which He Applied and whines about it. (Dinged by UCLA with a 4.1 GPA ... totally predictable given acceptance rates.)â€
Ingraham, along with many Americans, has grown annoyed with Hogg’s behavior, which is understandable, but it was unwise and unhelpful to publicly denigrate a teenager. A 17-year-old is still a child, even if he has embraced an ideology held by individuals a little older than himself.
What happened next, though, is what should be cause for concern.
