--snip-- The Mayor and First Lady are proud to announce their son, Dante, will be entering the freshman class of Yale University this fall," the de Blasio family said in a statement.

Dante was accepted into all ten of the colleges he applied to, including Brown and Yale, earlier this month, but ultimately plotted his future in New Haven due to the strong program options in history, philosophy and political science at Yale, his father said.

I wish him well. I am sure he got accepted solely on merit even though the article does not mention any of his academic accomplishments.

Affirmative Action lets another unqualified person of the chosen people and with political connections cut the line.

Meanwhile, a qualified and far more intelligent white or asian student does not get in.

If DiBlasio was true to his leftist “white privilege” beliefs, he’d make his half white kid eschew a scholarship to an Ivy League school and let a minority with a less white blood go in his place. The kid is obviously a beneficiary of white parent privilege. By going to a black college he could prove to the minorities how down with the struggle he is.

My daughter was rejected by Yale. HS Valedictorian, 2350 on the SATs, 35 of 36 on the ACTs, 3 jobs in high school, varsity swimmer since 7th grade on a state championship team her senior year, plays the piano, speaks two languages, lived a semester in Costa Rica, sang in the choir, volunteered at church......all this wasn’t enough for a middle class white girl from western NY

"black privilege"

But his pappy is all white. So therefore he benefits from white parent privilege. He should go to an all black college to prove he's down with the struggle.

Did he get in because of the large Afro?

I know there were people that voted for Bill because of his son’s fro.

Btw, if he ever needs help from the police, I hope they don’t trouble themselves.

Perhaps Dante’s most notable accomplishment so far is that he grow’s a mean ‘fro. I’m talking Astronaut Helmets!

One of the Bush girls went there. Seemed they are good with kids who have Secret Service so it might be best for him to go there. Sanford is another school that is good for politicians kids. If this is a priority for the parents that the kids stay safe.

What do you know of his qualifications?

Sounds like you raised an Exceptional Daughter.

What College did she end up attending?

Sounds like Yale was the loser to me.
I’m sure DiBlasio’s Red Diaper Son will not contribute to Yale what your Daughter would have.

Congratulations on your excellent Parenting skills.
It’s a lost art in today’s Society.
