12名哈佛新生遭撤銷錄取資格，原因竟是在臉書上發表歧視言論?!

新聞 05-17

社交軟體對於現在的年輕人來說，一點都不陌生，他們隨意的在主頁里發表自己的觀點等，然而最近主頁君在美國網站Reddit看到了一位用戶的爆料，由於12個哈佛錄取新生在臉書上發布惡劣性質的內容遭哈佛撤銷了他們的入學邀請。到底這樣的事情屬於真實還是惡意造謠，而高等學府哈佛大學此次的做法，網友們怎麼看待呢，下面就和主頁君來看看這條爆料和下面網友們的評論。

這兩天，主頁君在逛Reddit時發現了個神帖...

這個爆料大概意思就是說在2017申請季中，有12個被哈佛錄取的新生在臉書的群里發了一些涉及

種族歧視、兒童虐待

等十分惡劣的照片和言語。於是哈佛大學本科學院撤銷了對這12名學生的入學邀請。

爆料人還提到，其中一個人是自己的朋友，是TA們高中畢業典禮的發言人也就是這一級的

第一名

，還獲得了哈佛的

全額助學金。

看完後，主頁君覺得這可能也就是個玩笑帖或者假消息？

但

隨著跟帖的增加及更多爆料的出現

，主頁

君覺得這件事的可信度有所增加...下面就來一起看看下面的跟帖。

這位網友的發言讓大家覺得這條爆料的真實性很高：

I apologize if this offends some people, but as someone who has seen the messages that were posted (I don"t go to Harvard but I have friends who showed me screenshots that were going around in the other chats), I feel the need to make a clarification. Racist and anti-semitic memes were indeed posted, but were not even close to being one of the most horrific messages.

以下內容可能會令一些人感到不適，在此提前致歉。然而

作為一個看到相關截圖的人

（入讀哈佛的同學轉發於我），我認為有必要在此做出一些澄清。引發爭議的帖文中毫無疑問含有種族主義內容（包括反猶主義），但

這和真正駭人聽聞的內容相比實在只是冰山一角。

One post described in detail how one of the users would mutilate the genitals of and torture five-year-olds. Another post depicted an uncensored picture of dead, bloody children from the Syrian bombing, followed with a comment that that was "fap material". Another meme joked about hitting the dead body of a Mexican kid that committed suicide by hanging like a pi?ata.

一條帖文詳細描述了某一用戶將如何折磨五歲小孩並毀傷其生殖器；另一條帖文轉載了一個死於敘利亞轟炸的兒童的血腥照片，不但未經打碼，更附上評論：這張照片適合自慰（fab material）；還有一條帖文戲謔著說要對一個自殺而死的墨西哥小孩鞭屍。

This isn"t even a matter of what"s "fair" or what"s "just" or "it"s really sad that four years of hard work went down the drain because they posted some memes on a private chat". If you can think of something so sick as that and then have the gall to laugh and make jokes about that, then quite simply in my book you"re a psychopath, and you need help.

這遠遠不是所謂「公平」和「正義」的問題，更不是「四年奮鬥光陰付諸流水，僅僅是因為孩子們在內部論壇上說錯了話」這般簡單。

如果一個人去想像一下我描述的這般糟糕的情景，並且還有心思開懷大笑甚至開類似玩笑，那麼很顯然，在我看來這個人就是一個精神病患者，需要尋求醫學救助。

Yes, Harvard wants to preserve its image. Yes, there are some politically-sensitive people and SJWs at Harvard. However I think it does not take much to realize the disgustingly horrific problem with those messages and "jokes". Would you feel safe being on the same campus, being in the same classroom, or even rooming with people who plotted out exactly how they would torture and mutilate someone? Harvard has rescinded them not only to preserve the integrity and morality of its campus, but also its students" safety. Students can get and have been arrested for joking (privately!) about bomb threats; I think being rescinded is a much smaller price to pay. This is an issue of character; and as one user wrote, I think it"s very telling that such thoughts and ideas and moral concepts were revealed only in private and not in public. Again, I will reemphasize: how they said it, where they said it, and why they said it is not the issue, but the fact that they did is the issue. People go to the best schools with a dream to change the world for the better. Those 12 students clearly do not fit that ideal, and Harvard realized that as well.

是的，哈佛想保護其公眾形象。

誠然，有些哈佛人對於政治比較敏感，甚至可以說是民權鬥士。

但我相信，任何人都能意識到這些所謂的「笑話」是多麼令人作嘔以及感到恐懼。

如果你和這些能夠繪聲繪色描述自己將如何凌辱他人的人走在校園裡，坐在同一個教室里，甚至成為室友，你會有安全感嗎？哈佛撤銷了對他們的錄取，不僅是為了維護學校的操守，更是為學生的安全著想。

過去有學生因為（私下！）開有關炸彈的玩笑而遭受逮捕；我認為相比較而言，

他們僅僅被撤銷入學實在是太輕微的代價了。

這是性格缺陷；正如一位用戶所寫，這些想法和道德觀在公開場合無影無蹤，卻在私人團體內流露出來很能說明一些問題。我要再一次強調：他們說話的內容、場合和動機都不是最關鍵的，整個事件的核心是他們這麼做了。

人們懷著讓世界更美好的理想聚集到最好的學校，很顯然這12名學生與此理念不符，而哈佛也認識到了這一點。

這位網友作為一個知情者大概描述了這些學生在臉書上所發內容的

喪心病狂和道德泯滅。

正如他所說：這遠遠不是所謂「公平」和「正義」的問題，更不是「四年奮鬥光陰付諸流水，僅僅是因為孩子們在內部論壇上說錯了話」這般簡單。

能夠發出這樣冷酷無情和可怕的文字的這12名學生，已經遠不只是需要被撤銷入學這樣簡單了，這已經上升到了

人性

的高度。而哈佛撤銷了他們的入學資格，不僅保護了學校其他學生的安全，維護了學校，也表明了態度和立場。

I don"t think it"s something about jokes but the fact that they are indeed racists.

After having gone through two rounds of college admission processes, I do have a full realization that not all the students who get accepted by those prestigious schools have good moral standing or as same as they described themselves in their applications.

To be honest, I think these 12 students are just the tip of the iceberg. It is unimaginable in the future those people will become leaders in various fields. The discrimination will only be perpetuated. Here"s the question for the admission officers: "How come you reject those students who truly have the aspiration to contribute to society while accepting those hypocrites? Now what about your "holistic" admission?" I would say I am totally disillusioned.

我不認為這只不過是個

玩笑

，他們是

徹頭徹尾的種族主義分子

。經過兩輪大學錄取過程，我確實了解到並非所有被精英大學錄取的學生都是正人君子，他們也不可能如同申請材料所自我描述得那麼白璧無瑕。

坦率地說，我認為這12個學生只不過是冰山一角。真的無法想像這些人會成為將來各行各業的領軍人物，而這些歧視現象是

根深蒂固

的。我只想問

招生官們

一個問題：

「為什麼你們拒絕那些真正希望為社會做出貢獻者而喜歡錄取口是心非之人？這就是你們所謂的綜合評價體系嗎？」

我不得不承認自己對此大失所望！
