[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's somewhat difficult to judge this whole situation without knowing the specific nature of what the parent communicated to the college, whether the information was true/relevant, and whether the school had suppressed the information in the interest of protecting its own reputation.[/quote]

Nope, there is NEVER a time when someone should be anonymously sending notes to colleges to disparage other kids. Never. That is just batsh1t crazy.[/quote]
Given all that’s come out in the last few days, I’m no longer willing to be that definitive in condemning the parent (even if I’d never do it myself). It all depends. Admissions and outplacement have been corrupted, so how can an applicant know that relevant negative information about competing applicants isn’t being suppressed?

When a corrupted person is so highly regarded that they are giving Sasha and Malia private tennis lessons at the WH (what is more vetted than that?), how can a parent believe that they should just relax and trust the process?[/quote]

No honey, it’s never ok to do that. It won’t help your kid anyway. 
 On another note, these private schools need  to increase the number of counselors. The ratio is just too high. [/quote]
Lecturing people about ethics while adopting an openly misogynistic tone. Well played![/quote]

New poster.  "Honey" is not misogynistic.  It's condescending -- probably deliberately used that way -- and can be applied to either sex, male or female.   :roll: [/quote]
Of course it is... just as calling someone "boy" is meant to invoke racial imagery, using "honey" as a condescending expression is meant to invoke the stereotype of the uneducated and helpless female, whether it's directed at a male or female.

If directed towards a male, it's not really different to saying to a straight person that their dump POV is "gay."

So, yes, it's misogynistic. Incidentally, the US government calls it out as an example of sexual harassment: https://www.doi.gov/pmb/eeo/Sexual-Harassment[/quote]

Per that link, Biden is in deeeeep trouble.

"Examples of Sexual Harassment
Any of these elements may constitute sexual harassment or discrimination. These examples are not meant to be all inclusive.

Physical contact
Squeezing a worker's shoulders or putting a hand around his or her waist..."[/quote]

Thanks for posting, Sen. Gillibrand.  Your tactics may have worked with Al Franken, but it won’t work with Biden.  America now sees you for the craven hypocrite that you are.  Trump was perhaps right about one thing:  you will do anything for money and to get ahead in politics.  You’re a loser.[/quote]
