Liberal Democrats, too lazy and stupid to compete 
scholastically.  This is the result of the present day inferior 
California school system, once the envy of the entire free 
world, after 40 years of Democrat control and parasitic 
socialist union infestation.

He believes in ethical investing — just not allegedly when it 
comes to his son’s college.

One of the uber-rich parents swept up in the bombshell college-
admission cheating scandal, is a hedge-funder previously hailed 
as a paragon of ethical ­investing.

But that didn’t allegedly stop him from paying $300,000 to 
illegally buy his son’s way into USC — and then keeping the 
truth from his offspring.

Now Bill McGlashan Jr., 55, has been put on “indefinite 
administrative leave effective immediately” from his gig at 
investment firm TPG Growth, the company announced on Wednesday.

McGlashan also sits on the founders board — along with 
humanitarian-rocker Bono — of The Rise Fund, an investment firm 
that purports to have “a deep personal and professional 
commitment to driving social and environmental change,” 
­according to its Web site.

He is accused of making a $50,000 sham donation from his 
personal charity to another charity run by William Singer in 
­order to have his son’s ACT test results doctored — and to get 
pictures of his son Photoshopped so the boy would appear to be 
an all-star athlete.

Then he paid the school another $250,000 to get his kid in the 
door, court papers allege.

The ethical investor also plotted ways to keep the truth from 
his son.

“Is there a way to do it in a way that he doesn’t know that 
happened?” he asked one of Singer’s cronies in a phone call 
recorded by the feds.

The witness suggested telling his son the school would help him 
because he’s an athlete, but McGlashan retorted, “But I can’t 
say that in front of [my son], ’cause he knows he’s not.”

And so Singer tried to cast the boy in the most conceivable 
position for a scrawny kid: football kicker.

“I’m gonna make him a kicker/punter and they’re gonna walk him 
through with football,” Singer said.

“Pretty funny. The way the world works these days is 
unbelievable,” McGlashan laughed back.
