Some are being admitted under athletic scholarships even though they do not play a sport. Kids are getting in over others that probably have a better academic record than the rich kids, to name a couple of reasons.

Imagine your kid not getting a scholarship or into a better school because a dumber kid's rich parents paid off the school for their kid to get in over yours.


That's pretty much it.

CNN is already tying this to Trump. Can we just agree that there are some crazy ass people out there and it has nothing to do with who is president (especially of another country). This is why I hate the news and politics

They referenced Trump specifically in their manifesto as "a symbol of renewed white identity and common purpose".

Just a guess why.

#BREAKING: Louisiana has accidentally paid double tax refunds for nearly 66,000 taxpayers amounting to almost $26 million.

Officials urge anyone who received a larger refund than what they are actually due to not spend the money.
Louisiana - checks out
