Something is rotten in the state of Massachusetts.
In the once-hallowed halls of Harvard University, there is now supplication to authoritarian China, adulation for leaders unwilling to defend the international order, and capricious disregard for equal justice.
I refer, in that last point, to Harvard's decision to withdraw its offer of a place in its 2023 class to Kyle Kashuv. A survivor of the 2018 Parkland school shooting, Kashuv is well known for his Second Amendment advocacy. But as Kashuv noted on Twitter on Monday, Harvard's Dean of Admissions William Fitzsimmons recently withdrew the university's offer on the basis of messages he sent at the age of 16, before undergoing the trauma of the Parkland shooting. Dean Fitzsimmons says that the messages show an absence of "maturity and moral character." Asked to explain these comments, Kashuv wrote an eloquent apology letter, but it wasn't enough.
Harvard says the decision is final. Its timing has left Kashuv without the opportunity to start college this year, as all the deadlines have already passed to accept other offers. And he says he passed up large scholarships to go to Harvard.
