I really am surprised that almost all of the public outrage is being directed at the parents and more of it isn&amp;#x27;t being directed at the people who actually received the cash.  I think lots of parents are willing to stretch their morals in order to give their kid every possible advantage in life.  That isn&amp;#x27;t exactly noble behavior, but it is more forgivable to me than the old-fashioned financially motivated corruption of the people who accepted the bribes.  And even the school agreeing to the &amp;quot;buying a building&amp;quot; style bribe has some type of altruistic motive to improve the welfare of the school.  The people accepting these bribes were just trying to get rich.</text><parent_chain><item><author>olliej</author><text>I feel like the solution here is to not bribe your children&amp;#x27;s way into school.&lt;p&gt;If your children aren&amp;#x27;t academically talented and you don&amp;#x27;t have the money to publicly buy a building for the school you should accept that and just let them live off your money and power as is traditional.</text></item></parent_chain></comment><story><title>L.A.’s Elite on Edge as Prosecutors Pursue More Parents in Admissions Scandal</title><url>https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/01/us/college-admissions-scandal.html</url></story>
