Wharfie, it doesn't surprise me that Harvard is big on legacy admissions. I'd expect the same from Yale and Princeton. All three of those schools are super-elitist.

All the other colleges in the Ivy League value legacy admissions less.

P.S. - I had a classmate from high school who came from a five-generation Harvard family. She didn't get in, so she went to Flush-It-Down Brown. Just seems to me that this legacy admission thingy isn't what it's cracked up to be.

And now the anti-vaxxers have finally come around to blaming the Jews:

RFK Jr revives antisemitic conspiracy theory that Covid-19 was ‘ethnically targeted’ to spare Jewish people | The Independent

What IS it with blaming the Jews anyway? This is one of the stupidest things I've heard this year, and that's saying something.

By the way, RFQ knew that he was spouting Bullshishka, so he took the cowardly approach by floating a trial balloon:

- "There's an argument to be made ..."

- "We don't know whether it was deliberately targeted ..."

- "There are papers out there that show ..."

What a complete and utter wimp. No courage of conviction, no taking responsibility for spreading these anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, no balls whatsoever.

DEI College Director Fired for Not Being 'Right Kind of Black Person' (msn.com)

This was at De Anza Community College, not too far from my neck of the woods.

"Woke" is still turning Californian institutions of education into shit.
