It wasn’t too long ago that Hogg was making videos complaining that schools wouldn’t accept him, but now he’ll be studying at an Ivy League University and proving that getting into college nowadays doesn’t always depend upon grades.
Or good spelling.
So know when the NRA says Violance and guns are the only way to overthrow the government only say so to sell more guns and rely on scaring Americans into a false narritive where you can only over throw a tyrannical gov with guns. They are wrong and only successful 26% of the time

A lot of people were thrilled that Hogg got in, wishing him well in his future endeavors. Others blamed “white privilege” for his acceptance.
The real question is, who will be paying for it? If scholarships, what for? What were his SAT’s and grades. No whites get in because they were in the same vicinit, but far enough away from a tradegy. Can’t get dreamer status, nor affirmative action. What gives?

David Hogg is the modern-day poster boy of unearned privilege.
