So a bunch of kids who would otherwise have gotten scholarships to
college didn't because the school board wanted to virtue signal. Sounds
about right.

Yet the Laguna Beach parents were OK with Kristin Cavalieri whoring it up,
Jessica being a homewrecker, and J-Whal being a druggie.

Then on the follow-up show The Hills, we've got Spencer being a psycho, Heidi
having no work attic, Justin Bobby being a creep, and Lauren choosing to spend
the summer at the beach with her boyfriend instead of going to Paris.

This is what the parents in Laguna Beach produced. Instead of pointing the
finger at Janet, they should look in the mirror.

George Santos, correct?
