1. I had no idea this sort of thing was this rampant.

These were just the ones caught. I bet a lot of wealthy people do this. It's sickening. And what does that teach the kids?

Same thing was done for George W. Bush, Trump, and others.

It's sickening, when I think of the deserving hard working students whose places they were going to take, or did take.

This was high level stuff. It included in some cases photoshopping student's faces onto other kids playing a sport, to falsely represent that the student was playing that sport, when he didn't. I mean...really.

I had no idea this sort of thing was this rampant. Honeycombe8 Mar 2019 #1
