Rajesh - Seems incredible that as one TV News Caster put it "I have a daughter who has 4.0 average and did not get into Yale, and here is a very poor student whose ONLY reason of being chosen is that he is a Taleban .. gets into Yale" .. Of course Harvard is one place which is known to (as I was told) "the most likely place which would gurantee an admison if you happen to be a daughter f banana repuplic dictator"
I liked the column of this sophomer student in Duke: Yale's disgrace<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Maybe you've kept up with the news in recent weeks, and you're as aghast as I am at some of the ideas liberal academics have been promoting. <b>There's the teacher in Denver who compared Bush to Hitler, the professor in Boulder, Colorado who said the WTC victims were little Eichmanns and, my all time favorite, David Graber, who hopes for "the right virus" to wipe out humanity and reclaim the planet for forest creatures.</b>
As you may have gathered from my previous columns, <b>I am very liberal, yet even I am disgusted at the ridiculous ideas the elitist universities in this country are promoting.</b> Sometimes their desire to be politically correct and promote diversity just seems to get muddled in their strange and esoteric behavior.
This month, it became widely publicized that <b>Yale University admitted a member of the Taliban regime to earn an undergraduate degree. </b>The new student, Sayed Rahmatullah Hashemi, joined the Taliban in 1994 and became a diplomatic envoy in 1998. If you've seen Fahrenheit 9/11, you might remember Rahmatullah. In one scene, a woman lifts a burka and accuses the Taliban of mistreating women, to which he responds, <b>"I'm really sorry to your husband. He might have a very difficult time with you." Yes, it's true: This fiend now attends Yale.
</b>
How could Yale possibly admit a member of the Taliban, especially the man who defended their heinous policies? .......... <rest of it in the link given above>
