Fox News Anchors Rip and Ridicule the Amazing Lamar High Student Everyone Loves — and the Kid Responds With Incredible Class

There’s such a thing as being crazy like a fox. And then, there’s being crazy like a Fox News anchor — acting foolish while actually being incredibly foolish. And worse, mean.

Fox 5 DC co-anchor Holly Morris and contributor Sarah Fraser ripped into Micheal Brown, the Houston area student who applied to 20 top colleges and got accepted with full ride scholarships to each and every one.

While the rest of the country has been heralding the Lamar High School senior’s hard work, now 4.71 GPA and his commitment to his community, Morris and Fraser have a different opinion.

The two grown women saw fit to bully the exceptional 18-year-old on TV, calling his stunning feat ridiculous and obnoxious. Brown received full rides to Yale, Stanford, Harvard, Princeton and more. Morris and Fraser couched his success in terms of a zero-sum game.

“It’s a little ridiculous that this kid applied to 20, taking away a spot and basically wait-listing another kid,” Fraser said. Morris couldn’t agree more. “It’s a little obnoxious because you can only go to one, you can only take one full ride, and you are taking a spot from someone else who worked really hard,” she declared.

The two adults spoke as if Micheal Brown knew with certainty that he would get into each and every school, and as if having dreams and ambition is selfish.

Cue the incredibly justified backlash. NowThis News criticized the problematic Fox segment in a video that’s racked up more than 8 million views. Outraged supporters of Brown took to Twitter, with many calling the journalists’ comments racially motivated.

Fraser and Morris turned to Twitter as well. Fraser publicly apologized, recognizing that her actions were petty, although she failed to correctly spell the name of the person she had lambasted. Brown accepted her apology with class and maturity.

Morris has still not issued an apology. Instead, she has dug her heels in further. Morris tried to clarify her cruel remarks — it’s about the number of schools, not the individual who applied to them, she writes — while insisting that she would have made the same comments about a white student.

Holly Morris believes in a more “targeted search.” One thing’s for sure:  She certainly believes in targeting people.
