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.

The son of Beverly Hills marketing CEO Jane Buckingham, whose 
mom allegedly took part in the nationwide college cheating 
scandal, apologized, saying he’s upset he was “unknowingly 
involved” in the scheme.

Jack Buckingham said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter 
that he hopes the scandal — in which his mom allegedly conspired 
to cheat on his ACT exam so he would get into the University of 
Southern California — will change the college admissions process 
for the better.

“I know there are millions of kids out there both wealthy and 
less fortunate who grind their ass off just to have a shot at 
the college of their dreams,” he told the publication. “I am 
upset that I was unknowingly involved in a large scheme that 
helps give kids who may not work as hard as others an advantage 
over those who truly deserve those spots.”

“For that, I am sorry, though I know my word does not mean much 
to many people at the moment,” he continued. “While the 
situation I am going through is not a pleasant one, I take 
comfort in the fact that this might help finally cut down on 
money and wealth being such a heavy factor in college admissions.

“Instead, I hope colleges may prioritize an applicants’ 
character, intellect, and other qualities over everything else.”

Jack’s mom, parenting book author Jane Buckingham, was charged 
Tuesday along with 33 other parents in the massive college 
cheating scandal.

She’s accused of paying $50,000 for an ACT proctor to take the 
exam in Jack’s place in July 2018.

“I know this is craziness, I know it is,” she wrote to William 
“Rick” Singer, according to the documents. “I need you to get 
him into USC, and then I need you to cure cancer and [make 
peace] in the Middle East.”

The scheme involved sending a handwriting sample from her son to 
plot mastermind Singer for the proctor to imitate.

“He has not great writing,” Jane said, according to the court 
papers. “Good luck with this.”

It’s not clear if Jack ended up going to USC — though he did get 
a near-perfect score of 35 on the test, according to the 
documents.

Jane, the founder of trend forecasting firm Trendera, seemed 
happy with the results, and said she would probably do the same 
for her daughter Lilia, because she is “not a great test taker,” 
the documents state.
