Despite the fact that he’s “changing the world,” Parkland teen David Hogg was rejected from a slew of California colleges. UC Irvine, UCLA, UCSD, and UCSB all turned him down.
Hogg’s followers are probably surprised. People have been treating the teen like a prophet since the Parkland, Florida shooting massacre. In addition to his flourishing activist career, Hogg has a high GPA and decent SAT score.
He doesn’t care about the rejections. Why should he? MSNBC and CNN have basically made him their newest pundit. He’s on-air almost daily.
“It’s been kind of annoying having to deal with that and everything else that’s been going on but at this point, you know, we’re changing the world… We’re too busy. Right now it’s hard to focus on that,” Hogg told TMZ.
“’I am not surprised at all honestly I think there’s a lot of amazing people that don’t get to college not only that do things like I do but because their voices just aren’t heard in the tsunami of people that apply every year for college in such an economic impacted school system which we have here in America where people have to go into massive amounts of debt just to go to college and get an education.”
He went on to point out that he didn’t really need college anymore because he ’s, you know, changing the world.
“If colleges want to support us in that, great, if they don’t it doesn’t matter, we’re still going to change the world,” he bragged.
He’s not exactly modest. However, the left seems to like that about him. It seems all they needed to jumpstart the gun control debate was a couple of plucky, camera-ready teens.
Hogg and a few other Parkland students have become the face of gun control. Hogg, it seems, accepts his newfound fame without questioning it.
