Wow. This is the definition of Hero. A completely selfless act- putting your very body in harm’s way- to help another who needs it. Incredible & touching.
It’s the kind of thing you would think you’d see only in a movie. Shanta Jordan, however, became a real-life hero…
I’m writing your parents.
People are also forgetting that these kids had _just_ been accepted. The admissions officers at super-selective schools have thousands and thousands of really amazing applicants to choose from.

You do realize that’s not how Harvard works right? A quick google search will show you that Harvard is one of the greatest providers of non student loan financial aid. Basically, if you can get in to Harvard, you will not be refused for lack of funds.
I can’t believe two of them are fathers now. They were such wee kidlets just a couple of blinks ago...
Who are those innocent young men?
“BYU might similarly expel or deny admission to those they feel do not behave in line with their values.”
This is the type of thing that gets right-wing news outlets all riled up about “intolerant liberals.” I’m certain they will bankroll lawsuits to attempt to ensure the right to express truly horrible sentiments without any repercussions.
