Elite colleges are anti-white; here's what to do about it



In my first month of college, I was banned from a debate tournament because I’m white.

The club president was an Indian kid who had interned at Goldman Sachs over the summer. He somberly told the entire room that white kids were winning too much and that it was unfair to minorities.

If the Democrats pander to young black people, then the Republicans must pander to young, gifted white males — themselves a minority whose potential is increasingly wasted.

I had two thoughts at the time:

1. How dare you treat white people like this, Devesh. (His name was actually Devesh.) You live in America. The only reason your family left India is because white people made the United States an infinitely better country. Show some respect to them.

2. Is there any group hated more than young, gifted white men?

No room for debate

College debate now requires trigger warnings before each round. If you don’t provide them, you automatically lose. Tournaments now revolve around topics like “queerness in 'Wuthering Heights'" and “How do we eliminate whiteness?”

Leftist ideology has ruined an activity that once served as an opportunity for intelligent white kids to demonstrate excellence, become recognized, and enter the elite.

How can young, gifted white men demonstrate excellence these days? The system has completely abandoned them. If they manage to get into an elite university, they quickly realize how unwelcome they are.

Return to risk

In my freshman year, I attended an information session for law school. Everything I heard for 45 minutes was about “women in law” and “Black Students Association.” It dawned on me how everything has become feminized and anti-white, from something as subtle as the cutesy and intentionally unintimidating design of the PowerPoints to the explicit and unapologetic discrimination against white men.

Young white men have subconsciously recognized that originality and risk-taking are strictly frowned upon. They can climb the ladder if they always obey directions, but they will never be great. They’ll merely be another cog in the machine, eternally replaceable and subject to ridicule.

This realization has done profound damage to the psyche of white men, and I think it’s one of the greatest crises of our time. All of this presents a unique opportunity for the Republican Party. Currently, there is a severe shortage of young Republican leaders.

Geriatric Old Party

You watched the Republican National Convention. How many of the headline speakers were under the age of 40? Compare that to the Democratic National Convention. Say what you want about the Democrats, but they have the future in their grasp. When the Boomers are gone, what will the Republicans do? Do they even know?

If the Democrats pander to young black people, then the Republicans must pander to young, gifted white males — themselves a minority whose potential is increasingly wasted. Many of these men don’t care about politics because they feel it’s fake and doesn’t help them. They see Democrats as the party of non-whites and Republicans as the party of corporations, and they zone out.

But if the Republicans were to tap into the yearning among these men for greatness by providing them opportunities for achievement, an entirely new party could emerge. There are many ways to accomplish this, and they need not and should not be explicitly political.

Reform college debating

For example, why not reform college debating? An organization called APDA (American Parliamentary Debate Association) currently has a monopoly on college debating at elite universities. This is the organization that bans white students and requires trigger warnings. It’s also the organization that hosts all the tournaments.

The Republican Party — or, more realistically, a nonprofit loosely connected to Republicans — could establish a competing association that doesn’t discriminate against white people or mandate trigger warnings. Keep the debate topics nonpartisan to ensure a diversity of beliefs.

There you go. You now have an organization that would establish the right as the side for high-achieving young people and provide a way for the GOP to identify promising talent.

Create a better LinkedIn

Here’s another idea: Why not create a competitor to LinkedIn that doesn’t have all the corporate phoniness — and instead rewards risk-taking and authenticity? Get all the tech bros who support Trump to work on this.

Importantly, this platform should not be explicitly conservative or only for political jobs. It should be promoted as an elite service, requiring an extensive application process — like those highly exclusive dating apps — to find the brightest and boldest students and match them with companies in all industries seeking that talent.

It would also serve as a rare outlet for these students to network with each other without worrying about being “canceled.”

Recruit promising young talent

Another idea: Why not create an organization that identifies gifted high-schoolers in Middle America, mentors them to get into the best college possible, and pays for their entire college tuition?

The Republican Party regularly bemoans how out of touch our elite are. The solution, then, is to form a new elite. Require the students to write a pro-America essay, interview them to ensure they have right-wing sensibilities, and you’re good to go. With the GOP’s budget, this could help hundreds of brilliant kids each year.

Yes, these universities are hostile toward white men. But they also provide unmatched resources and connections. I have benefited from them myself! You get the point. There is an untapped pool of genius that the right could benefit from if it cared enough. Young, gifted white men want to seek greatness — they just need the opportunity to do so. If you help them, they will help you.

How to get into the Ivy League as a white male



University of Chicago senior Daniel Schmidt recently sparked controversy with posts on X calling attention to the high rates of violent crime on and around campus (including the murders of three students during the first eleven months of 2021). Most of the perpetrators of these crimes, Schmidt noted, are black — which means that any proposals to reduce these crimes, even one as simple as asking for more police, are denounced as "racist" by leftist students and faculty.

Since the posts, Schmidt has been condemned by the University of Chicago's student government and its Organization of Black Students, amid many calls for his expulsion. While X has throttled Schmidt's original post for violating rules against "hateful conduct," University of Chicago President Paul Alivisatos has defended Schmidt's right to speak freely.

Schmidt previously came under fire in 2023 for X posts critical of University of Chicago lecturer Rebecca Journey's seminar "The Problem of Whiteness."

"It’s ... one of the only colleges today that sincerely protects free speech (why I can make this post without getting expelled)," posted Schmidt about his school. "It’s undoubtedly the only top university that cowards haven’t co-opted. I love it dearly."

In that spirit, we're publishing Schmidt's advice, originally posted on his X account, on how to get into the University of Chicago and other top American educational institutions.

—Matt Himes

I got into Princeton, Yale, and the University of Chicago three years ago. I wrote my admission essay about going to a Trump rally when I was 13 and how it inspired me.

This essay was part of a calculated strategy. When I was in high school, I understood that I had to game the system because I’m a white male. I realized I had to combine extreme risk-taking with extreme competence — two characteristics that maybe only 1% of people simultaneously have.

Yes, these universities are biased against you because you’re a white guy. But even greater than their disdain for white people is their need to claim future high achievers — because that is their entire business model.

Why? For one, I knew it would make me stand out. How many kids applying to Yale write about going to a Trump rally? But more importantly, I recognized that these universities are ultimately businesses. They retain their prestige and donations through the achievements of their alumni.

The admission process is simply a psychological screening to identify these future high achievers.

Unusual risk-taking at a young age coupled with demonstrated competence through test scores, grades, and extracurriculars are indicators of future success. I knew that admission officers would identify that, consciously or subconsciously, and that I could beat the odds placed against me because I’m white.

So if you’re a white male in high school, or a relative of one, here’s what I recommend.

First, you must discover what you’re passionate about and only focus on that. For me, it was public speaking and writing. You cannot be a “jack-of-all-trades.” These colleges want young people who are excellent at just one or two things. They want Math Olympiad winners, international debate champions, chess prodigies, etc. If you spread yourself thin, admission officers cannot picture where you will be 20 years from now. Remember: All that these universities ultimately care about is producing future leaders in their respective industries.

Fortunately, you do not need to be on the extreme level of “Math Olympiad winner.” I was president of two clubs (Model United Nations and Debate) and ran a blog and that was it. But you must orient your application around just one or two passions and excel in related extracurriculars to demonstrate your competence. That is crucial.

Then we get to the Common App essay, which is far and away the most significant part of the application. Here is where most kids fail. They write about unimaginative and cliched topics like going on a mission trip, volunteering at a homeless shelter, or participating in robotics club. Sorry, but at least 5,000 other kids are writing about that. You have just reduced your chances of admission to less than 1%, even if you have a perfect SAT score.

You need to set yourself apart and designate yourself as a future high achiever in the eyes of admission officers. You need to say something in your essay that stands out immediately. Naturally, only you can know what that “something” is. But it must relate to your passion in some capacity.

In high school, I realized I enjoyed public speaking and writing because they allowed me to push boundaries by advancing bold ideas. I get bored very quickly with the status quo. When Trump ran for president in 2016, he challenged the system through the power of his words, which inspired me. That’s what I wrote about in my Common App essay.

The best advice I can give you is to dig deep into your passion and discover what energizes you. What motivates you? What excites you the most? If you can connect that excitement to a unique experience, even better. The key is to be as authentic and memorable as possible, because that will make you stand out.

Of course, you need excellent test scores and grades. But don’t obsess over the numbers. As long as you score in the top 5% of test takers, you’re fine. I scored a 36 on the ACT and graduated with a 4.0 GPA ... but so do thousands of other students applying to these colleges. Spend most of your time instead pursuing your passion and writing your essay. I cannot overstate the importance of that.

If you follow these steps, I sincerely believe you will get into at least one Ivy League or top school. Yes, these universities are biased against you because you’re a white guy. But even greater than their disdain for white people is their need to claim future high achievers — because that is their entire business model. Take advantage of that.

UChicago Prof, the Brother of a Convicted Iranian Spy, Says Iran Has Nothing To Do With Anti-Semitic Campus Protests

A University of Chicago professor whose brother is a convicted Iranian spy dismissed the notion that Tehran has boosted anti-Semitic protests on U.S. college campuses. Next semester, that professor will teach students about "Zionist settler colonialism." Alireza Doostdar, an associate professor of Islamic studies and dual United States-Iranian citizen, is slated to teach a course later this year on "liberatory violence" with a focus on "Zionist settler colonialism, ethnic cleansing, and apartheid," according to a copy of the class overview obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

No whites allowed: Group reportedly organizes anti-racism discussion for 'BIPOC ONLY' at University of Chicago



A group that implies affiliation with the University of Chicago has organized a series of activist events this fall, including a "discussion of navigating race" for nonwhite people only.

UChicago United, which was founded in 2017, claims as its mission "to structurally transform the University of Chicago’s campus into a truly inclusive space that fits the needs of and empowers students of color." The group also expresses hope of impacting the greater Chicago community as well.

To that end, it has invited incoming freshmen to what it calls "Dis-Orientation," an annual fall program that attempts to educate them "about the 'real' University of Chicago," which, it suggests, is unfriendly to everyone who is not white. Some of the events of Dis-Orientation 2022 include: Anti-Militarism 101; Policing, Gentrification, and Abolition; a Walking DE-Tour of UChicago Campus; and Race @ UChicago.

Race @ UChicago is especially noteworthy since it deliberately excludes white people from attending. Race @ UChicago is a "BIPOC ONLY space for honest discussion of navigating race at UChicago between new and old students," the description of the event reads.

BIPOC is an acronym that stands for "black, indigenous, and people of color." In other words, those who identify as white are not permitted to participate in or even make an appearance at Race @ UChicago. Despite the direct exclusion of white people at this event, UChicago United has offered "White Ally" workshops at Dis-Orientation in the past. It is unclear whether nonwhite people were forbidden to attend such workshops.

It is also unclear whether the invitation for "old students" refers to upperclassmen and graduate students or, as the Daily Caller suggests, university alumni.

This year, Dis-Orientation began on September 26 and will conclude at an Activist Open House on October 7, where those "fighting for survivor, migrant, labor, racial, environmental, disability justice (and more) at UChi" will meet and "learn how to get involved."

Though the group name "UChicago United" hints that the group is strongly affiliated with the university, there is little evidence to suggest a direct link. A search for the group on the school website does not yield any direct results, and the group does not link back to the school on its own website. Group registrations, email addresses, and other forms are all facilitated through Google. The Daily Caller stated that neither the university nor UChicago United responded to a request for comment.

Psaki cornered by student reporter who enters 'Peter Doocy mode,' grills her for encouraging protests at homes of SCOUTS justices



Former White House press secretary Jen Psaki was cornered Wednesday by a student reporter who told her we was entering "Peter Doocy mode."

What happened?

While speaking at a forum hosted by the University of Chicago Institute of Politics, freshman student Daniel Schmidt, a student journalist with the student-run Chicago Thinker, asked Psaki about encouraging protests at the homes of Supreme Court justices.

After Schmidt read Psaki's own words, the forthcoming MSNBC pundit claimed she did not say what Schmidt claimed she said.

"I never said that," Psaki challenged.

"I'm quoting from —" Schmidt responded.

"I said peacefully," Psaki interjected, adding, "That's a key word in there."

— The Chicago Thinker (@The Chicago Thinker) 1652919941

After Psaki's interruption, Schmidt completed his question.

"Do you regret encouraging people to protest outside of justices' homes?" he asked, noting that protesting outside the homes of judges likely violates federal law.

In response, Psaki appeared to contradict herself. She again claimed that she "never encouraged anyone to protest," then immediately admitted that she encouraged Americans to "engage" — albeit peacefully.

Well, first, thank you for your question and bringing it forward. Let me first say, because I think facts matter and facts are important. I never encouraged anyone to protest. I encouraged them to do engage peacefully, and to do it without violence, without threats, and without intimidation. And that’s something I said many, many times and I think is vitally important.

It is also true that peacefully protesting in places where it is legal — and it is legal in many places in the country, including outside of some places in the country for sure — is something that is, that is allowed. And I’m not going to tell people, I don’t think it’s the role of the government to tell people where they can or cannot peacefully protest. If they’re breaking the law, of course they shouldn’t do that. And I also said that, too. Thank you for your question!

So what did Psaki say?

The comments in question stem from a White House press briefing on May 10 in which Psaki was asked about protests happening outside the home of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito. A reporter asked Psaki whether Biden believed the protesters were attempting to intimidate Alito.

In response, Psaki — like Schmidt recounted — said Biden encourages protests outside the homes of Supreme Court justices, though she did qualify her statement with the adjective "peaceful."

"I know that there’s an outrage right now, I guess, about protests that have been peaceful to date — and we certainly continue to encourage that — outside of judges’ homes. And that’s the president’s position," Psaki said.
