I read that while at the doctor today.
He was sixteen years old, a stupid kid, and has grown up. They should give him the chance to prove he’s changed instead of punishing him for being stupid.
His comments were horrendous and using the N word is wrong. People change as they get older and I’m sure he’s not the only kid who did something dumb but got in.

Here is the thing.... When you apply to college your acceptance is based on everything you did when you were a kid.... If he walks into court and says "I did this while I was and it shouldn't be held against me" can't the college say "Well, your acceptance was based on everything you did as a minor and if to throw that out you wouldn't qualify".
I understand kids are kids, but.... Kids are dumb today. We taught our kid to be very careful about what she says on her cell and social media at a young age.
