Education for Sale.....

So let me make sure I understand this correctly. Some wealthy families are in trouble for buying their children’s way into some colleges around the country. They are being roasted in the press and media and are even being charged with multiple crimes. Some are going to be doing jail time.

Why?

You work hard all your life, You invest your money wisely and attain a comfortable level of wealth. Your kid is a spoiled brat but you love them and want to give them every advantage in life that you worked hard for. You buy their way into a college or university.

This is wrong how?

Before you start your “It’s not fair Chuckie” crybaby shit with me, just remember who you are talking to for a second. I wouldn’t tackle a problem like this if I wasn’t locked and loaded for an argument. I specialize in looking at the other side of issues.

You see, we have been doing this same sort of shit with minorities for the last 75 years. 25 years ago the Supreme Court upheld the practice. Minorities who have inferior test scores and education are being chosen to attend college based on their race and prior discrimination practices OVER MORE WELL QUALIFIED STUDENTS WHO AREN’T IN A MINORITY.

Read that again. Some inner-city kid will get preferential treatment over a student with superior grades and educational criteria due to the color of their skin. Sorry Johnny, you are the wrong color to get into the college of your choice. We will admit a minority student with weaker educational credentials into our freshman class instead of you. Never mind your hard work and all the time you spent studying and busting ass to succeed. We have to level the playing field IN FAVOR of someone whose family was treated unfairly over a hundred years ago. Are you an alien illegally in this country? We will even pay your tuition for you.

You are a student athlete and a minority? Just come on in! You don’t even have to be able to read! Scored a 400 on the math portion of the SAT but ran for a thousand yards in high school? Hell we will give you a scholarship and fix your grades so you can play ball for us.

And here we are getting upset when a wealthy couple buys their kid’s way into college? What kind of hypocritical bullshit is this? The government can do this, the colleges do it, but an individual can’t?

This is just one more case of artificial class warfare that our liberal politicians dream up, not to mention the Krakatoa class wet dream the news media gets daily reporting on this nonsense.

And remember, O.J Simpson went to USC. Why would someone spend a half a million dollars to get their kid into a state college anyway?
