Kyle Kashuv, a survivor of the Parkland school shooting who became a national figure as a gun rights advocate, has had his admission offer from Harvard University rescinded after comments he made privately when he was 16 surfaced online.

My colleague Tom Rogan has criticized Harvard for the move, but I think there’s a broader issue here, which is how we as a society think we can fight bigotry if we set a standard that says that people cannot change once they have reached the age of 16.
