Is this college admissions scandal just a little too perfect?

I mean rich, famous people and their entitled, spoiled offspring are just too easy to ridicule. It feels like a bucket of chum being thrown to the masses.

I’m almost certain this isn’t an isolated thing... The love of money is the root of ALL evil.

@Spokeskitties75 I hope they investigate college administrators & even presidents. I’ve heard rumors for over a decade & that’s all I’ll say. Some bad ju-ju coming down on these people now.
@cherokeepatti I was shocked to hear that some of the people had spent half a million - was this to save money or were the kids so decrepit scholastically that they were just buying a diploma?

I wonder if they would have been better off just giving the kids the money and kicking them out of the nest?

One of the daughters was vacationing in a tropical paradise during the first week of school, posting photos on Instagram. I’m thinking it was bribery & insurance to make sure she got cooperative professors who would make sure she would pass her classes.

@cherokeepatti This thing is blossoming like a bad case of crabs. They're investigating preparatory schools now.

@approachingmyexpirationdate That wouldn't keep 'em out of the basement for long. With college they're gone for four years.
@Theseus good point
