   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 son of Beverly Hills marketing CEO Jane Buckingham, whose   
   mom allegedly took part in the nationwide college cheating   
   scandal, apologized, saying he’s upset he was “unknowingly   
   involved” in the scheme.   
      
   Jack Buckingham said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter   
   that he hopes the scandal — in which his mom allegedly conspired   
   to cheat on his ACT exam so he would get into the University of   
   Southern California — will change the college admissions process   
   for the better.   
      
   “I know there are millions of kids out there both wealthy and   
   less fortunate who grind their ass off just to have a shot at   
   the college of their dreams,” he told the publication. “I am   
   upset that I was unknowingly involved in a large scheme that   
   helps give kids who may not work as hard as others an advantage   
   over those who truly deserve those spots.”   
      
   “For that, I am sorry, though I know my word does not mean much   
   to many people at the moment,” he continued. “While the   
   situation I am going through is not a pleasant one, I take   
   comfort in the fact that this might help finally cut down on   
   money and wealth being such a heavy factor in college admissions.   
      
   “Instead, I hope colleges may prioritize an applicants’   
   character, intellect, and other qualities over everything else.”   
      
   Jack’s mom, parenting book author Jane Buckingham, was charged   
   Tuesday along with 33 other parents in the massive college   
   cheating scandal.

   She’s accused of paying $50,000 for an ACT proctor to take the   
   exam in Jack’s place in July 2018.   
      
   “I know this is craziness, I know it is,” she wrote to William   
   “Rick” Singer, according to the documents. “I need you to get   
   him into USC, and then I need you to cure cancer and [make   
   peace] in the Middle East.”   
      
   The scheme involved sending a handwriting sample from her son to   
   plot mastermind Singer for the proctor to imitate.   
      
   “He has not great writing,” Jane said, according to the court   
   papers. “Good luck with this.”   
      
   It’s not clear if Jack ended up going to USC — though he did get   
   a near-perfect score of 35 on the test, according to the   
   documents.   
      
   Jane, the founder of trend forecasting firm Trendera, seemed   
   happy with the results, and said she would probably do the same   
   for her daughter Lilia, because she is “not a great test taker,”   
   the documents state.
