My first thought was that this was an effort to save face and start a law career... but reading the interview he sounds quite sincere. What a refreshing change of pace from all the political bickering of the last few days.

Maybe they'll be getting another apology email from Mitt Romney in a few weeks??

When he filed his initial grievance, this student was:

A) Horrendously immature
B) Coping with untreated mental health issues
C) Absurdly high on privilege and self esteem
D) Overly sheltered from the non-school world
E) All of the above

Most likely E, but it took a huge amount of guts to apologize publically and even more to give a long interview to the same newspaper that mocked him soundly back in July. If his interview answers are sincere, and I agree that it SOUNDS like they are, then he must have done a whole lot of soul-searching in the past six months, and he should be commended for that.

(If they're not sincere, then he's got a great future as a trial lawyer.)

but it's too bad that this really sincere letter and interview won't get nearly as much international media attention as his lawsuit did.
