Joe Biden Says He Wants To Crack Down on 'Privilege' in Education. He Once Called UPenn's President To Get His Granddaughter In.
Free Beacon ^ | 7/1/23 | Joseph Simonson and Andrew Kerr

Posted on 07/01/2023 6:37:19 AM PDT by CFW

Shortly after the Supreme Court declared affirmative action college admission policies unconstitutional, President Joe Biden said his administration would direct the Department of Education to scrutinize how "practices like legacy admissions … expand privilege instead of opportunity."

The department could start by examining how politically connected families like the Bidens get their children into Ivy League schools.

In 2018, Hunter Biden tapped his father and a number of Biden family connections to help get his daughter into the University of Pennsylvania. Text messages and emails from Hunter Biden's laptop, reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon, show how Joe and Hunter Biden worked behind the scenes to get a subpar family member into one of the most selective schools in the country.

Maisy Biden's college admissions process could raise a number of uncomfortable questions for the president. The saga highlights exactly the kind of "legacy admissions" Biden has slammed. The story also highlights the Biden family's occasionally shady dealings with the University of Pennsylvania just as congressional Republicans are probing alleged ethical misconduct by both Joe and Hunter Biden.

It sounds as if Hunter's daughter was not exactly "college material" and the family had to pull some strings to get her into Penn.

Fathers and Grandfathers who help family members cheat wind up with drug addicted whore-monger sons like Hunter.

I’m surprised the kid wasn’t automatically admitted early decision, but was finally allowed in during regular decision

This Penn’s way of saying: She’s a really bad student, but we respect that the VP of the USA is connected to us, has sent a lot of money our way, and has repeatedly asked for help on this.

Biden is just like the rest of the elites in the US. Nothing is too good for them and nothing is too bad for you.

Com’on Man, Joe 81mimllionvotes Biden wasn’t talking about his or other Royal Families.
He was talking about the un-anointed and deplorable wealthy and some Republicans, that pull strings to get their kids into prestigious universities.

Liberals don’t really want equality but they’ll talk about it and promote the idea of it to create the privilege they want for themselves at the cost of the “little” people. The truth is that everyone wants to stand in a position of superiority over their neighbors. In every society there is a means to achieve it; some by creating it and others by taking it. Communists and socialists are takers.

And his idiot son, Hunter, went to Yale Law School, ranked as the top law school in the US; you can be certain he wouldn’t have been hired as the moot court room janitor unless his corrupt father did some favor for Yale. Don’t allow yourself to be deceived - this is aimed at the middle class who would go to these schools solely on merit, period.
