    Full Title:

    There's no hope for the rest of them! Parkland shooting survivors have been rejected from a string of their chosen colleges despite organizing global movement against gun violence

    I would assume most liberal colleges would love to have this kid as a student. But then I thought about it and maybe the colleges are afraid he'd organize protests against them if he didn't like their rules or something. This kid and his communist girl friend with the shaved head are perfect to become violent Antifa types, and as we all know, Antifa likes to set colleges on fire.

    It would be a hoot if he lost a slot in these schools due to Affirmative Action or some illegal got preference over him.

    :lol:

    I am going to guess this is more Right Wing propaganda news.

    None of those particular schools are easy to get into if he is not a California high school graduate!

    Last I checked, this guy is from Florida. A 4.2 GPA and those test scores aren't that great.

    That California saves a big number of California graduates to get in makes other states tougher, never mind the costs of out of state tuition and requirements leaves fairly small numbers of other states. Plus a number of other California colleges were accepted by him!

    Another likely FAIL by the Alt Right Propaganda Machine. Try harder to make fake news, this is really the bottom of the barrel Alt-right fake News, indeed!

    This post was updated on July 2 at 8:58 p.m.

    UCLA had a record-low admission rate of 17.3 percent for freshman applicants for the 2015-2016 academic year, according to data released by the University of California Thursday morning.

    The admission rate for freshman applicants decreased from last year’s 18.1 percent.

    UCLA also experienced a decline in the transfer student admission rate from 30 percent last year to 29.3 percent this year.

    Meanwhile, UCLA admitted the highest percentage of nonresident students for its freshman class among all the UC campuses, with 41.7 percent of admitted freshmen being either out-of-state or international students.

    The UC admitted 30,490 nonresident freshman applicants, a 12.8 percent increase from last year.

    China continues to be the country with the highest number of international students admitted into a UC campus, followed by South Korea and India, said Stephen Handel, associate vice president of UC undergraduate admissions in a conference call.

    When I was in high school the deadline for applying to the California schools was very early, like November 1st. It is likely they made their decisions before the shooting and whole movement.

    This kid, along with the others are freaking the NRA out so the NRA is sending out mass propaganda campaigns in a feeble attempt to defame anyone that stands in the way of their $$$$$$$$$$$.

    If UCLA wanted to recruit an athlete they still have time to get him to attend next year....possibly with a scholarship.

    And?

    Great. Another thread where someone gets some kind of perverse pleasure in pathetic attacks on kids. Is there something so twisted inside that makes this type of drivel palatable?

    Thousands of conservative kids won’t get into those schools either. In fact, they wouldn’t even have the GPA to try.

    There have been a series of lies being posted about these kids. They are lies that are going to get one of them killed. And if you thought they were a threat to your guns alive - just wait till some moron makes them a martyr.

    What does the NRA and their increased membership have to do with this? Name one person the NRA killed and compare that to Planned Parenthood and get back to me.

    You libs just mindlessly keep repeating talking points that have no basis in facts or common sense.

    Now can you tell me why these kids were rejected or not?

    Interesting for you partial confirmation of MY point that the UC schools are very rough to get into for anyone who is not a California high school graduate.

    Your numbers show indications of one of the schools getting 120,000+ applications and only a quarter of those being allowed to enter.

    What kind of point are the Righties trying say with these kids not being accepted, other than very bad excuses for why the Righties are rather desperate?

    When these ‘kids’ open their uneducated and inexperienced mouths they’re just kids and immune to criticism because they’re uneducated and inexperienced. But libs like Michael Moore and others think these uneducated and inexperienced ‘kids’ should vote.

    And if you’ve been keeping score, there are lies going around about the NRA, Trump, everything.

    Who cares? I mean really who the **** cares? Why is this a story? Is the OP claiming that if you didn't get into MIT your opinions don't matter? Whether or not you agree with Hogg is irrelevant when it comes to his right to free speech. Everyone is protected under the First Amendment period regardless of education level or which colleges they attended or didn't attend.

    People that resort to these types of attacks are tacitly admitting that they can't actual provide counter arguments against the issue itself. I have no problems arguing against Hog's positions but clearly the OP can't and as such has to resort to criticizing him not being able to get into MIT. The next time the OP makes any argument he better post his MIT transcripts and graduate credentials or his opinion is hereby irrelevant.

    Why would a California "college" not want to accept another bigoted prejudicial Nazi ******** like Hogg?

    Only possible answer: Because hes White.

    Oh please. Hoggman is a shill and an idiot and son of the Deep State. He'd have a better shot at acting college, he learned his coached lines from the Soros crowd in a heart beat. He's a "quick study for his lines".

    Yup. The same right wing rag that openly endorsed Hitler in the 1930s.
    Don't believe me? Look it up for yourself.

    ...did you just preemptively accuse me of deflection while deflecting from your attack on a highschool kid for not getting into a few colleges? Oh, but I'm sorry, you wanted me to defend a specific aborted fetus in your thread devoted to attacking a highschool kid for not getting a few colleges (like that makes any ****ing sense).

    Actually the Hogg is from the hermit state of California. Until a year ago he was one of the few who lived in the South Bay who don't surf.
    The Hogg's big Hogg retired from the FBI and got out of the shithole state of California and moved to Florida about a year ago and took his snowflake son along with him.

    To derive joy from the misfortunes of others is bad enough.
    But to derive said joy from the misfortunes of someone who survived a mass shooting is beyond describable.

    This shooting and the brave stances it's survivors have taken are showing the ugly underside of NRA-obsessed Americans.

    As far as I am concerned, NRA fanatics are almost as bad as white supremacist groups.
    Almost.

    Shithole state of California?

    Either you have never been there or you have horrible taste in states.

    My brother lives in San Fran and it is AMAZING there.

    Most people of intelligence recognize that the NRA is nothing more then a quazi-terrorist organization that has the blood of thousands of people on their hands. Those who are members likewise have the blood of thousands on their hands as well, just that many of them don't realize it. It's only a matter of time before the government declares them a terrorist organization and makes membership illegal.
