   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.

   One of the parents arrested for allegedly bribing his kids’ way   
   into top colleges in a nationwide admissions scam resigned as   
   chairman and CEO of his own finance company Wednesday, according   
   to new reports.   
      
   Manuel Henriquez, the founder and now-ex-chief of California-   
   based Hercules Capital, “voluntarily stepped aside” a day after   
   he and his wife, Elizabeth, appeared in court on charges of   
   conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud,   
   according to Forbes.   
      
   The company’s shares plummeted as much as 10 percent when the   
   scandal broke Tuesday, and closed down 8.9 percent, Bloomberg   
   reports.   
      
   Henriquez will “continue as a member of the board and as an   
   adviser to the company,” the company said.   
      
   The parents are accused of paying more than $400,000 to college   
   admissions mastermind William “Rick” Singer to help their two   
   daughters cheat on their admissions exams — as well as to bribe   
   Georgetown’s then-head tennis coach to have their elder daughter   
   named as an athletic recruit.   
      
   After Singer arranged for a corrupt proctor to sit “side-by-   
   side” with the older child during her SATs and feed her the   
   answers, the proctor, Elizabeth and the daughter allegedly   
   “gloated” about “the fact that they had cheated and gotten away   
   with it.”   
      
   Manuel Henriquez, an alumnus of Northeastern University and a   
   former member of one of its governing bodies, actually got a   
   discount on Singer’s services because he allegedly agreed to use   
   his clout at the Boston college to help get another applicant   
   admitted to that school, according to the criminal complaint.   
      
   He emailed a senior development officer at Northeastern,   
   describing the kid as an “excellent candidate for the College of   
   Social Sciences and Humanities,” then repeatedly followed up   
   with officials about his admission, prosecutors allege.   
      
   The boy was accepted to the school, and his parents then   
   allegedly paid Singer $250,000.   
      
   The Henriquezes turned themselves in to authorities Tuesday and   
   were each released on $500,000 bond.   
      
   Both parents looked stunned as they appeared in court, with   
   Henriquez shaking his head and looking at the floor as the judge   
   explained the charges against them, according to Bloomberg.
