Liberal Democrats, too lazy and stupid to compete
scholastically. This is the result of the present day inferior
California school system, once the envy of the entire free
world, after 40 years of Democrat control and parasitic
socialist union infestation.

Nearly a year before actress Lori Loughlin entered the list of
more than four dozen people charged in a nationwide college
admissions cheating scandal, her daughter Olivia Jade Giannulli
had apologized for making comments regarding her higher ed
aspirations that some say depicted her as “spoiled” and “a
privileged brat.”

The alleged admissions scam – which involved placing students in
top colleges like Yale, Georgetown, Stanford, University of
Southern California, UCLA and the University of Texas – was
purportedly run by a man in California, William Rick Singer, who
helped parents get their children into the schools through
bribes, court documents unsealed Tuesday in Boston showed.

Most of the students did not know their admission to the school
was due to an alleged bribe, authorities said.

Back in August 2018, Loughlin's 19-year-old daughter got herself
in hot water after she made some comments on her popular YouTube
channel concerning her outlook on college.

In one of the videos, the social media influencer opened up
about graduating from her private high school in California and
planning to attend college in the fall. However, the explanation
she gave on why she was gearing up to pursue a degree quickly
sparked backlash.

“I don’t know how much of school I’m gonna attend,” she told
nearly 2 million subscribers. “But I’m gonna go in and talk to
my deans and everyone, and hope that I can try and balance it
all. But I do want the experience of like game days, partying… I
don’t really care about school, as you guys all know.”

The statement quickly ignited outrage from her followers.

“Wow I wish I could go to school just for the experience and not
care about my education to earn a living and waste your parents
money????? Can not relate,” commented one user.

“It sucks that some people don’t have the privilege to get an
education and she’s going just for game days,” chimed another.

“I love you Olivia I really do, I've been a subscriber since the
beginning so I really hope you don't take this as hate but more
of constructive criticism,” explained one user. “I honestly
found it very disappointing when you said you care more about
parties and tailgates rather than your education. If you hate
school so much why go to college? You can go to parties and
tailgates whenever you want you don't have to go to college.”

“People work their a-- off in high school to get into a good
college to continue their education, I know I did,” the user
continued. “And it's honestly insulting when tons of people
can't even afford to go to college but want to and I know damn
well you're not going to a community college meaning you're
probably going to a good school that others would literally kill
to go to. I feel like if you really don't want to continue your
education then don't sit there and talk about going to college
and not caring about it, focus your attention more on your
career if that's truly what you care about.”

Two days later, Giannulli released another video titled “im
sorry” to address the overwhelming concern from viewers.

“I said something super ignorant and stupid, basically,”
admitted Giannulli in the video. “And it totally came across
that I’m ungrateful for college — I’m going to a really nice
school. And it just kind of made it seem like I don’t care, I
just want to brush it off. I’m just gonna be successful at
YouTube and not have to worry about school. I’m really
disappointed in myself.”

“A lot of people like to attack me for the way I’ve grown up
because it’s really different from a lot of people,” she added,
insisting she regretted offending her fans.

Fans were quick to forgive the YouTube star.

“I don’t think you have to apologize, people get offended for no
reason,” wrote one user. “Like who's excited for school work?!
Enjoy your college experience!”

“We know you didn't mean it, some people just take things the
wrong way and blow it way out of proportion,” added another.
“Obviously you realize how fortunate you are to go to college.
Don't beat yourself up to bad. We all say silly things.”

“Personally I thought it was funny, I was lucky enough to go to
college – definitely wasn’t cheap for my family – but I still
related and laughed,” wrote one user. “Game days were some of
the best times i had in college. don’t worry, people get
triggered so easily. enjoy what you enjoy.”

The alleged admissions scam, which was revealed Tuesday, showed
kids' parents would pay a specified amount of money fully aware
it would be used to gain college admission. The money would then
go toward an SAT or ACT administrator or a college athletic
coach who would fake a profile for the prospective student —
regardless of their athletic ability, according to the charging
documents.

On a call with a wealthy parent, prosecutors said, Singer, who
owned the company Edge College & Career Network, summed up his
business in this way: “What we do is help the wealthiest
families in the US get their kids into school... my families
want a guarantee.”

Singer would help his clients' children by having another
individual take SAT or ACT tests on behalf of the students.
Parents would pay up to $75,000 for each test and have them wire
money to "charitable accounts."

"Singer used the purported charitable donations from parents, at
least in part, to bribe two SAT and ACT test administrators,"
court documents stated.

The court documents also stated that "[Loughlin] agreed to pay
bribes totaling $500,000 in exchange for having their two
daughters designated as recruits to the USC crew team – despite
the fact that they did not participate in crew – thereby
facilitating their admission to USC."

Actress Felicity Huffman was also charged and arrested by
federal agents in the scandal.
