    If some poor family offered literally anything to anyone to increase their chances of admission, everyone involved would be locked up for the rest of their lives with half the country calling for the death penalty.

    These guys just have to suck it up and stay in """jail""" for like a week and then say I'm sorry, paying a fine that amounts to what they earn in the time it takes them to take a shit.

      They convicted a woman for lying about her zip code to get her kid into the better school in town.

        Media is biased against women when it comes to these things for sure. If it were all males who were named we probably never would have heard about it.

        That changes nothing however, fuck these parasites stealing normal kids futures.

        edit: to be more clear I guess what makes me so heated about this compared to all the other BS is that it WAS widely reported in EVERY news outlet. "serious" and tabloid, but nobody really seemed to care.

          I think the thing is the target audience for news are people who share that same extreme anxiety to make sure their kids are able to launder money into merit and have a "respectable" place in society. So it's less of a don't care than a "i don't want to think about that because i would do the same" lol

      This is one of those situations where hard labor in the mines is almost entirely justified
