    Like other states, California won’t financially penalize violators, but it will post the names of violators on the state Department of Justice’s website.

    Wow that’s a brutal punishment wtf

        It's Texas. California loves to Pantomime at decency then cower whenever someone calls to Woke.

        Texas reveals in fascism and torments people for trying to be nice

            My neighborhood in Houston is full of legitimately good chill people who would fit into a bodega in Brooklyn as easily as a tackle shop in Kentucky. Its frustrating because I grew up in a neighborhood where people were legit just a bunch of selfish reckless assholes and this ain't it. They're not invested in the culture war crap, they don't want a War with China or to crucify trans kids or whatever. But the power-mad fascists running the state government are just kinda railroading through insane bullshit because they can. Its enervating to just watch it all wash over us like a tidal wave of shit.

      they are totally still a thing at so-called competitive admission schools. I met somebody once who dropped they were a "double legacy" at Vassar as an unironic brag and I immediately made it their nickname and took every opportunity to bring it up, because that should not be a thing.

      Legacy admissions seems like a great way to maintain social hierarchy and keep the rich donors friendly without having an explicit paper trail. Also, I don't think doctors and lawyers have "make 6 to 7 figure bribe" money lying around, and I think their kids are the main target demo of legacy admissions

        I imagined like $10k or something along those lines. It doesn't take much to bribe.

        Senators sell out humanity for way less than I expected, for sure.

    hey remember that massive admissions scandal from a few years ago that showed rampant abuse of wealth to falsify and finesse applications as well as outright bribery of administrators
