   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.

   Four college students plus parents of three of them have filed a   
   class-action suit against the colleges wrapped up in a   
   nationwide admissions scandal — plus the scheme’s mastermind —   
   claiming that the plot denied them a fair shot at entry to elite   
   institutions.   
      
   The students claim that their applications were undercut by   
   William “Rick” Singer’s plot to fraudulently get undeserving   
   kids into top schools in exchange for bribes from their well-   
   heeled parents.   
      
   The suit was originally filed Wednesday in the US District Court   
   for California’s Northern District by two students at Stanford —   
   which is among the eight schools named as a defendant, along   
   with Singer, his college-counseling business, the bogus charity   
   he used to launder money and seven other schools to which he   
   directed kids.   
      
   But the suit was amended and re-filed Thursday, with one of the   
   Stanford students dropping out, but replaced by three other   
   students from schools across the country.   
      
   Despite the students’ top-notch grades and extracurriculars,   
   their applications to such prestigious institutions as Yale and   
   Georgetown were rejected — a fate the suit claims they might   
   have avoided on a level playing field without Singer putting his   
   thumb on the scale.   
      
   All told, 50 people — including parents, college sports coaches   
   and proctors — were charged Tuesday in the sweeping federal   
   probe.   
      
   Among the well-off parents caught up in the bombshell case are   
   TV actresses Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin.   
      
   Singer pleaded guilty to charges including racketeering   
   conspiracy Tuesday in Massachusetts federal court.
