College rejection clickbait: It was irresponsible for the WSJ to let a teen create a search history she could end up regretting

Kira Goldenberg:

So this piece has been making the rounds since Monday. It's on op-ed in the Wall Street Journal by high school senior Suzy Lee Weiss waxing bitter about being rejected from college. She blamed her rejections (she doesn't say how many, or whether she was accepted someplace) on the fact that she is a straight, white person with normal abilities and habits. It's the most-read piece on the WSJ's site and has been shared more than 10,500 times, according to the site Who Shared my Link.
