🎞 Interesting documentary on the recent college admissions scandal where many have served short prison terms for allegedly bribing the way for their offspring to get into prestigious colleges/universities, using Rick Singer’s “side door” method.
❓ But the more important question is: what about the “back door” method, where parents donate exorbitant sums of money to these same prestigious colleges/universities and their offspring miraculously get accepted?
The parents are free and their sons and daughters have Ivy League educations.
You’d think the institutions would be embarrassed that these people—who obviously aren’t as intelligent as their typical students—are flaunting their ill-gotten educations.
Isn’t the “back door” method a lot worse? I think so.
Many of Singer’s “side door”
clients didn’t want to pay millions of dollars to bride colleges/universities.
So the richer cheats are exempt?

My brother said he was watching THE GODFATHER trilogy during the holidays so I decided to copy him.
In the middle of GODFATHER II, I saw this scene w/ Senator Pat Geary & realized (with all deference to Francis Ford Coppola), this movie needs to be recast with today’s villains.
