Social Justice meritocracy

Gun control gadfly David Hogg was accepted by Harvard University’s admissions department despite possessing one of the lowest SAT scores in its 2018 freshman class:

Just when you thought (or, more likely, hoped) that David Hogg was a permanent page in the Where-Are-They-Now file, he pops up again. Now we learn that come fall, 2018, Hogg goes to Harvard.

Hold on — didn’t we recently hear how poor David got rejected from not one, not two, but four California schools? Even though his GPA of 4.2 and SAT scores of 1270 were pretty much in the ballpark of these schools, they still rejected him.

The average SAT score composite at Harvard is 1520. This is explicit evidence of the exclusion of the cognitive elite at even the most prestigious universities. It’s also an indication of the continuing intellectual decline of the US ruling class, as we’re rapidly approaching the point where the dissidents are not one, but two standard deviations more intelligent than their societal superiors.

This is not a sustainable situation. Only time will tell if the eventual outcome is revolution or a Khmer Rouge-style campaign against everyone who owns more than this many (holds up two hands) books.
