Oh no, incredibly wealthy white women are suffering a consequence :(

They cheated the system to try to win their kids a spot that other kids who worked their asses off rightfully deserved, and they honestly 100% deserve to be dragged for it.

[(Anonymous)]

Tons of people do that every year through legal means and never suffer a single consequence

I mean if we're being fair

"Through legal means" is the key here.

[(Anonymous)]

Why, though? It's still cheating the system to try to win your kids a spot that other kids who worked their asses off rightfully deserved, even if it's technically legal. If you think that's wrong, it doesn't matter if it's legal, it's still wrong.

Yes, buying your kid's way in through "charitable donations" is bad enough, and that should be frowned much more deeply upon than it is, but these particular women paid people to falsify their kids' SAT/ACT scores. That's beyond the pale, definitely illegal, and I'm really not sure why we're not supposed to be allowed to be angry about it.

NAYRT, but I personally feel more sorry for these people. They seem rich but in a petty, unconnected way. Nouveau riche, if you will, as opposed to embedded aristocracy. It feels a bit vicious to delight in catching people cheating the system because the way they went about it was crude and too obvious, while all the richer people more experienced with using their money to cheat the system are... still around. IDK, sometimes something being more blatantly criminal and illegal induces more sympathy in me than cases where the system is so thoroughly set up to validate and allow a particular form of immoral behavior that it isn't even a crime... I think it's because the fact of breaking a law suggests desperation that there wasn't a legal way to do it, whereas doing immoral things 100% within the law suggests the confidence that the existing system works entirely FOR you -- and that creeps me out way more. Does that make sense?

Be angry about it but also equally angry about the technically legal stuff instead of just accepting its the way the world works

I went to a rich public high school in my area by submitting a bunch of (non cheating) essays/test scores etc. The school that served my zip code, that I would’ve gone to otherwise, had had a fatal drive-by shooting my last year of middle school, and my mom wanted me to go to the school where 98% of students went on to four-year colleges.

I went from being a working class white kid with friends in a school that was 75% Latino and 95% free lunch to a school where I knew no one and kids got new Porsches for their 16th birthdays. My chemistry teacher used to taunt me with “you don’t want to go to a loser UC, do you?” I mean, I dunno, UC Berkeley and UC San Diego may be the best of the UCs, but the rest of them don’t exactly suck. I had a classmate who said with perfect confidence, “I’m going to Berkeley, my parents have an auditorium named after them there.”

Yeah, what these woman who I’ve never seen in anything did was entitled as fuck. But it was no worse than kids whose parents donated millions or whose every ancestor went to an Ivy, or even the ones who paid for years of SAT/ACT test prep courses and then for their kids to retake the test 10 times. I managed a 1410 on my first go round when the top score was 1600, and was happy to get into a “loser” UC.
