It seems that some need to make it political so as to protect their own world views.
It has to be those other people that did this, otherwise it calls into doubt their selection process.

We’d all be better off if everyone took a more pragmatic view.

What overall point are you trying to make here?

Oh another way of looking at it -- Blue States are more likely to investigate this kind of devious behaviour. Red States/schools just accept this kind of devious behaviour as normal.

(No I don't really believe that but I can spin it anyway I want as well).

This is not red or blue -- and we don't know how wide spread it truly is across the country.

It's the flat out blatant lying to your face liberal limousiners' hypocrisy to which many object.

They preach, preach, preach... "Oh, oh... we're all "equal"... Meanwhile, look away while I commit felonies to advantage my kids and grind your kids into the dust.

Since this Varsity Blues investigation was accidentally uncovered when the FBI was investigating something else, what was that 'something else?' Political corruption? Sex trafficking? Pedophilia? The wealthy, politically connected and Hollywood elites tend to intermingle. Birds of a feather flock together.

Some of you know that I've been a fairly recent Q follower, posting updated Q decodes from youtube decoders. They've been predicting March Madness with thousands of indictments, including Hollywood elites. I'm wondering if the Varsity Blues is just the 'thin edge of the wedge.' We shall see...

Hmmm...

“Texas men’s tennis head coach Michael Center was arrested in his home early Tuesday morning on charges in conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud in documents unsealed by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the District of Massachusetts.”

People of privilege have always greased hands to give themselves an advantage. I understand your frustration over the hypocrisy displayed by many of the offenders (for me, most notably Lori Loughlin, who is not a liberal btw), but, seriously, fraud is not a red or blue thing. Members of both parties have been guilty of this kind of stuff. It’s privilege, not party.

None of this is surprising, been going on since the dawn of man. People with money buy influence and favors.

Yes. And that is mostly true in the real world.

The majority of the people in the USA are pragmatic and reasonable, I believe.

Coach. Not parent. Without the parents' felonies, there would be no crime.
