   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.

   He believes in ethical investing — just not allegedly when it   
   comes to his son’s college.   
      
   One of the uber-rich parents swept up in the bombshell college-   
   admission cheating scandal, is a hedge-funder previously hailed   
   as a paragon of ethical ­investing.   
      
   But that didn’t allegedly stop him from paying $300,000 to   
   illegally buy his son’s way into USC — and then keeping the   
   truth from his offspring.   
      
   Now Bill McGlashan Jr., 55, has been put on “indefinite   
   administrative leave effective immediately” from his gig at   
   investment firm TPG Growth, the company announced on Wednesday.   
      
   McGlashan also sits on the founders board — along with   
   humanitarian-rocker Bono — of The Rise Fund, an investment firm   
   that purports to have “a deep personal and professional   
   commitment to driving social and environmental change,”   
   ­according to its Web site.   
      
   He is accused of making a $50,000 sham donation from his   
   personal charity to another charity run by William Singer in   
   ­order to have his son’s ACT test results doctored — and to get   
   pictures of his son Photoshopped so the boy would appear to be   
   an all-star athlete.   
      
   Then he paid the school another $250,000 to get his kid in the   
   door, court papers allege.   
      
   The ethical investor also plotted ways to keep the truth from   
   his son.   
      
   “Is there a way to do it in a way that he doesn’t know that   
   happened?” he asked one of Singer’s cronies in a phone call   
   recorded by the feds.   
      
   The witness suggested telling his son the school would help him   
   because he’s an athlete, but McGlashan retorted, “But I can’t   
   say that in front of [my son], ’cause he knows he’s not.”   
      
   And so Singer tried to cast the boy in the most conceivable   
   position for a scrawny kid: football kicker.   
      
   “I’m gonna make him a kicker/punter and they’re gonna walk him   
   through with football,” Singer said.   
      
   “Pretty funny. The way the world works these days is   
   unbelievable,” McGlashan laughed back.
