All This MSM Drama About Some School Cheating What Does the MSM NOT Want Us to Notice???
Any guesses?
The Pelosi bill?
The fact that there is no impeachable charges for the president?
The continued ongoing search for evidence and coup in Washington?
The child abuse issues in government?
Cortez and the rest of the Miserable Women's Brigade of Hate and their Leftist Totalitarian Fascist handlers uncovered?
The fall of ISIS?
Brexit?
What do you think is the important issue that the American Public needs to be distracted from...??

+1
The ongoing invasion.
76,000 were caught at the border LAST MONTH.
Most will be released in the US.
We are not catching them all, so how many are really breaking in?
Sorry, I’m incensed over the hypocrisy of Hollywood stars so I’m glad it’s being covered and they are being exposed.
I think the Establishment preference is for a “limited hang-out”:
They’re throwing overboard the Hollywood people do did this, because THEY have done it, too, in very many cases.
I mean, Chelsea Clinton..?! Come on..! Or Fatty McCain, etc.
The politicos believe that by doing so, the fire will stop in Hollywood, and not burn them, too.
The Feebs may be trying to gin up some good PR by going after rich perps.
Ignore the man behind the curtain.
Yes but it is a nothing burger that seeps energy from issues of day to day life and death importance.
The problem isn’t the Feebs going after these idiots.
The problem is all the other federal cases going unmade while the Feebs look the other way.
And I’m still wondering if Obama and/or the Toons were selling letters of recommendation....
What is the difference with this than a relative donating a building or a grant so ‘lil snow flake’ can play in the ivied halls?
Joe the garbage man can’t afford a building while he may be able to afford to have someone take a test etc.
Hang ‘em all.
Lets get back to MERIT based admissions....
No difference and actually this matters not.
Not work the air to blow on it
But it is a story covering other stories.
I think it is a big story but I’m not distracted from other big stories.
Not every story is a cover for something else. This is getting so much attention because of the celebrity angle which means good ratings and more $$$.
Yeah, most of us can walk and chew gum at the same time here. But clogging up the news section with vanities doesn’t help.
The Democrat Party uses fear and jealousy to get votes.
They’re just tuning up their base.
Californication going against the will of the voters on the death penalty issue?
The problem with 100% merit based admissions is the people that can’t afford $75,000 per year (Northwestern undergrad if you wonder where I’m coming up with the example.) are typically ones with the merit.
Higher education has a problem demonstrated by this “issue” which has been quietly going on for decades.
- There is no true marketplace for tuition. Everything is distorted by guaranteed government money that can’t be discharged in bankruptcy.
- Quotas, preferentially dictated candidates, class makeups etc. blow up the notion of a merit based system. Say affirmative action candidate every one knows who, what, how you’re talking about a person.
- Building funds, weight room expansions, “scholarships” etc are almost guaranteed to get “legacies” in that don’t deserve it.
Higher education is a complete joke and truthfully, a candidate that has all the merit to be worthy of a $300,000 undergraduate degree will probably figure out it’s not worth the money/debt if they can’t afford it and will find a way to excel without it.
Since the main motivations of the left are based on jealousy they might be treating this as an actual news story.
Think of it, some bitter journalism major that is still paying of ze/xe student loans in their early 40s could genuinely be appalled by this example of rich people using their money and influence to get over on the peasants.
