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.

Four college students plus parents of three of them have filed a 
class-action suit against the colleges wrapped up in a 
nationwide admissions scandal — plus the scheme’s mastermind — 
claiming that the plot denied them a fair shot at entry to elite 
institutions.

The students claim that their applications were undercut by 
William “Rick” Singer’s plot to fraudulently get undeserving 
kids into top schools in exchange for bribes from their well-
heeled parents.

The suit was originally filed Wednesday in the US District Court 
for California’s Northern District by two students at Stanford — 
which is among the eight schools named as a defendant, along 
with Singer, his college-counseling business, the bogus charity 
he used to launder money and seven other schools to which he 
directed kids.

But the suit was amended and re-filed Thursday, with one of the 
Stanford students dropping out, but replaced by three other 
students from schools across the country.

Despite the students’ top-notch grades and extracurriculars, 
their applications to such prestigious institutions as Yale and 
Georgetown were rejected — a fate the suit claims they might 
have avoided on a level playing field without Singer putting his 
thumb on the scale.

All told, 50 people — including parents, college sports coaches 
and proctors — were charged Tuesday in the sweeping federal 
probe.

Among the well-off parents caught up in the bombshell case are 
TV actresses Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin.

Singer pleaded guilty to charges including racketeering 
conspiracy Tuesday in Massachusetts federal court.
