Never underestimate a college administrator wanting a “star” to attend their college.

Second, never underestimate professors rationalizing giving passing grades to incompetent students when political correctness is involved.

True, but those parts of human nature SUCK!!

Think of an underprivileged student of any race, doing as well as he can, with a burning desire to go to college and study hard to become a profession college actually helps with, but he can’t afford all the loans and is working his tush off to get scholarships.

And this girl is forced to testify on TV and expose her utter lack of anything remotely shaped like talent and ability, and SHE gets the full ride???

[sorry, I know two african American boys who are great people who really want to go to college and are trying so hard. One has a brother killed by a gang, and the other has a father with a progressive terrible disease. This star power crap just makes me mad.]
