[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The "gaming the system" poster thinks if she [b]repeats the lie 1000 times, people will believe it to be true[/b]. If it's so easy to prep, why did white parents pay tens of thousands to have someone else take the SAT for their kids? The cheaters caught by Varsity blue are mostly white. If you have to look at everything in a racial angle, Caltech is 50% Asian. Maybe something else is in play other than "prep"?

And the "prep" thing is not even the problem FCPS was addressing. FCPS didn't spend this much time and energy to address a "prepping" problem. If that were the issue, Mr. Williams had already offered to write a new test that no one has seen for free. It costs nothing and problem solved. FCPS was addressing the racial makeup of TJ. All this "prep" stuff is just noise. But she will repeat the same lie tomorrow to distract from the real issue.[/quote]

Irony: if you repeat the lie 1000 times...

There were at least 2 ethnic Chinese, 1 Indian, 1 Latino, 1 Persian, 1 Egyptian(hence African) caught up in Operation Varsity Blues.

Not everything revolves around race. This certainly was more SES than anything else.[/quote]

Nice deflection. All the cheaters I saw on TV are white. How about the vast majority of the cheaters caught by varsity blue are white?[/quote]

That would be because the people that the vast majority of the population knew where white. The vast majority of people who were busted in Varsity Blues were very briefly names and no one really cared about because they were not household names. The outrage was that rich people used their money to buy results that other people were working hard for and that the specific Universities were not doing the necessary due diligence to prevent such abuses. You can google the list of people caught and busted in Varsity Blues and quite easily see that it was not just white people. It was more of a class based issue then it was a racial issue. The people who were faking the test scores and the athletic participation of the kids could have care less about race, they just wanted the money. The parents were so stuck on their kids attending a specific school that they were willing to pay stupid amounts of money to thwart the system.

The real difference is that the folks caught up in that operation were not rich enough to buy their kids way into said Universities through large enough donations, which is the traditional manner that the uber rich get their kids into Ivy League and similar type schools.

The use of legacy systems is on the decline at most US Universities precisely because it provides an unfair advantage to the kids of wealthier parents who attended a specific school. [/quote]
