I am the oldest freshman in the class of 2023. Before I was accepted, I didnt really know what to expect. I had seen the infamous YouTube video of students screaming at a faculty member. I had seen the news stories regarding the admissions scandal and that Yale was included in that unfortunate business.

No surprise, especially when schools are implementing play-doh coping sessions and entertaining student protests over every little perceived "offense" like lack of/existence of X being a deliberate slight.

tl;dr: The students he interacted with there aren't as bad as activists are depicted and were actually hardworking, smart young men and women.

Maybe he was fortunate enough not to interact with the obnoxious ones at their worst or maybe the videos and such that circulate just give a glimpse of the most abrasive.

For what it's worth, Senior Chief Hatch was a SEAL who was injured on a mission to find that Bowe Bergdahl who abandoned his post.

It's the true snowflakes way, need everything fed to them like baby birds while simultaneously screaming about people who don't want handouts wanting handouts. It's somehow un-self aware, condescending, AND hypocritical.

There's no conclusion in the first paragraph. It literally can't be a summary.

The snippet says nothing about his personal experience at Yale, only some things he'd heard about from other people.
