For the last month, Lori Loughlin has grappled with the charges against her in the high-profile college admissions cheating scandal, a source close to the actress tells PEOPLE. “It’s just taking some time for it to sink in that what she was allegedly doing could be considered illegal,” says the source. “To her, it wasn’t egregious behavior. Was it entitled and perhaps selfish? Perhaps. But she didn’t see it as being a legal violation.”

Wow, really?
This mom makes her kids study for college entrance exams and get scores that help them pay for college.
I want to see university presidents arrested as they had to know of the bribery.
Uh, a good mom wants her kids to earn their rank in school. By doing the work. (Alien concept, I know.)
I’m sure I just missed the /s tag. I’m so tired of the race baiting that I react to shut it down reflexively.
In science and engineering college is necessary and that is a good fit for some people. Liberal Arts not so much and people are often ill served by those degrees in terms of cost benefit.
For our Globalist overlords it’s all good. Indoctrination, alienation and crushing debt causing depression, powerlessness & dependency.
It’s a really, really bad thing she did. So is Affirmative Action for minorities. A lot of crap out there.
My second son screwed off in catholic high school and his guidance counselor called me and said he wasn’t going to be able to get into a competitive college. She was very irate and seemed to expect me to get involved & get him in somewhere. I said those are his grades, the ones he earned, and he will get into the school that he earned.
He got into Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Graduated and was still cocky. One year of working for a series of selling jobs and he was ready to hear my advice. He went back for his masters in Business, he had to petition the Dean of the business school. Now he has been out for 5 years and has just landed his dream job on wall street after 5 years in an analytics company.
If I had listed to the guidance counselor and bribed his way or twisted the arms of acquaintances he never would be where he is today. He learned the lessons, did the work, sent out the hundred resumes. I’m proud of him.

College was ‘never’ in my sights, I knew I was going to join USMC asap so when I left Catholic School for Public School in 1953(after 9th grade) the Nun that taught Latin told me if I promised to not even think of taking Latin II that she would give me a sufficient grade in Latin I.
So, in effect, the good Sister ‘bribed’ me so as not to make HER look bad..<: <: <:
She did say she did it because she KNEW I worked hard at it and did make a good attempt..
Best part (at the time) that passing grade in Latin I at a Catholic School met NY States language class requirements so I didn’t have to take French or Spanish.
Like Dan Quayle was overheard saying when he was visiting Latin America he had wished he paid more attention to the Nuns in Latin class....(He took almost as big a hit for that ‘joke’ as he did for potato(e))
JayGalt, what an inspiring story about your son! Congratulations to both of you! Well done, Dad!

Someone needs to check their White Privilege.
And they wonder why USC is called the “University of Spoiled Children”
Thank you, Albion. It was a hard road but it paid off.
My son’s a Dad now and he wants to do everything right. That makes me grin.
