   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 actresses Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin and the fashion   
   designer Mossimo Giannulli are among the 50 people charged in a   
   bribery scheme to secure places for students in elite colleges.   
      
   By Rebecca Halleck   
   March 12, 2019   
      
   In what the Justice Department called its largest ever college   
   admissions prosecution, federal authorities charged 50 people on   
   Tuesday with taking part in a nationwide scheme to game the   
   admissions process at highly competitive schools like Yale and   
   the University of Southern California.   
      
   Those charged include wealthy and powerful parents accused of   
   paying millions of dollars in bribes, exam administrators and   
   athletic coaches accused of manufacturing students’   
   achievements, and private admissions counselors accused of   
   coordinating it all.

   Network, also known as the Key, and a nonprofit organization,   
   the Key Worldwide Foundation, that prosecutors say effectively   
   were a single enterprise. They are accused of helping students   
   cheat on standardized tests, and paying bribes to athletic   
   coaches who could get the students into college using fake   
   athletic credentials.
