   Liberal Democrats, too lazy and stupid to compete   
   scholastically.  This is the result of the present day inferior   
   California school system, once the envy of the entire free   
   world, after 40 years of Democrat control and parasitic   
   socialist union infestation.

   The University of Southern California (USC) has fired two   
   employees who allegedly accepted enormous bribes in exchange for   
   facilitating the acceptance of dozens of students, the school   
   has said in an official statement.   
      
   Donna Heinel, a senior athletics administrator, and Jovan Vavic,   
   men’s and women’s water polo head coach, were axed following an   
   investigation into college admissions that saw such celebrities   
   as Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman arrested on federal   
   charges on Tuesday.   
      
   “We understand that the government believes that illegal   
   activity was carried out by individuals who went to great   
   lengths to conceal their actions from the university,” USC said,   
   according to its paper the Daily Trojan. “USC is conducting an   
   internal investigation. Donna Heinel and Jovan Vavic have been   
   terminated and the university will take additional employment   
   actions as appropriate.”   
      
   Two more USC athletics employees, women's soccer coaches Laura   
   Janke and Ali Khosroshahin, were indicted, though it is not   
   known yet if they have been fired as a consequence.   
      
   Heinel, 57, is accused of accepting a $500,000 bribe from   
   Loughlin, who rose to fame on the popular family sitcom "Full   
   House." Loughlin and her husband were both charged with bribing   
   officials to get their daughter, YouTube "influencer" Olivia   
   Jade Giannulli, into the school.   
      
   Vavic, also 57, is accused of accepting a $250,000 bribe in   
   exchange for declaring two students as recruits for his water   
   polo team in order to get them into USC.   
      
   The school's statement added detail on the fired employees'   
   alleged crimes, which spanned at least four years. They are   
   accused of connections to a sprawling admissions bribery scheme   
   led by William Rick Singer.   
      
   “On multiple occasions between 2014 and 2018, Singer’s clients   
   made payments of more than $1.3 million to USC accounts   
   controlled by Heinel, typically an account for the USC Women’s   
   Athletic Board,” the documents read. “Singer also entered into a   
   sham consulting agreement with Heinel. … In exchange for the   
   bribe payments, Heinel helped facilitate the admission of more   
   than two dozen students as recruited athletes.”   
      
   Singer, through his charitable organization, is accused of   
   receiving $25 million in bribes since 2011 to help the children   
   of wealthy and influential parents gain entry to elite   
   universities including Stanford, Yale and USC. On Tuesday, he   
   pleaded guilty to four charges against him and admitted to his   
   crimes. "All of these things, and many more things, I did," he   
   said, according to CNN.   
      
   "I created a side door that would guarantee families would get   
   in."   
      
   According to records, Singer allegedly made payments to Vavic   
   for students to be listed as members of the water polo team and   
   gain entry to the university, but never participated in any   
   sports. Vavic was reportedly taken into custody in Honolulu on   
   Tuesday.   
      
   A similar situation may have been in play with Loughlin's   
   daughter Olivia, who is among students for whom fake profiles   
   were allegedly created to allow her to appear as an athletic   
   recruit. Fake profiles were said to have been created to label   
   both of Loughlin's daughters as women's crew recruits, though   
   they had no history of rowing athletically and weren't listed as   
   current members of the USC women's crew team.   
      
   According to court documents, things began to fall apart for   
   Singer's organization when a counselor became suspicious about   
   her admission based on her crew involvement, because she did not   
   play the sport. This apparently led to a public confrontation   
   between the counselor and Loughlin's husband, designer Mossimo   
   Giannulli, leading Heinel to leave him a voicemail asking that   
   such an occurrence not happen again.   
      
   Loughlin's daughter Olivia currently attends USC and documents   
   her time there on her YouTube page, which has nearly two million   
   subscribers. In one video, she said she "really doesn't care
