What Goes Around...

Comes around:

Harvard has revoked its admission of Blair Hornstine, the prospective member of the Class of 2007 who made national headlines when she sued her school system to ensure she would be her high school’s sole valedictorian.

Following a widely-publicized report that Hornstine had plagiarized material in articles she wrote for her local paper, the Harvard admissions office has rescinded her offer to attend Harvard in the fall, according to a source involved with the decision.

Do I really wish this ill on Blair? No, I don't think I do. Certainly it'd be better to find a more direct way to teach her father a lesson, without further damaging her. But still, it is nice to see some consequences come of that family's outrageous behavior. I don't know if anyone will learn anything from the experience, but maybe some good will come of it.
