Worst kid ever? bit.ly/1ujVSdj While it’s always fun to mock the self-satisfied obliviousness of haplessly privileged college kids, there can be a counter-productive boomerang effect. Our collective sneering today will probably turn out to be the origin story for a future conservative super villain; every day teen Republican bitten by a radioactive Twitter owning. But screw it, let’s do it anyway. It’s unlikely we’re going to find a better candidate for a ideological stoning than Tal Fortgang, of the New Rochelle Fortgangs, who courageously struck out against the oppressive climate of basic cultural awareness and bare minimum human decency that has despoiled college campuses everywhere by penning a whinging invective against the concept of “checking your privilege” in The Princeton Tory. The piece was republished by Time, and a profile of the Rosa Parks of Ivy League white guys was published by The New York Times yesterday, something that always happens to people without privilege.
