We don't know what McKinney's resume looked like at the time she was admitted to Yale. But it's quite plausible that her academic credentials were mediocre, and that she was already a loud-mouthed radical nut spouting stuff that would get any white student kicked off the campus. If so, it was the same "politically correct", pseudo-intellectual amorality that got both McKinney and Hashemi admitted.
I had never listened to this woman speak before, but I have to admit that it does not surprise me that she went to Yale. She speaks very well and is not an unintelligent woman. In fact, she reminded me of the way intellectuals take things and distort them to fit into their ivory-tower world that people who work in the everyday world see through instantly. It's a shame, really. This woman, though a real embarrassment to her party, her gender and her race, has a good mind that could have been used for good. Instead, she has wasted it on hate mongering.
However, I erred. McKinney is not a Yalie. I was thinking of another exemplar of PCery running amok from the Ivies, Sheila Jackson-Lee.
