The college admissions scam has been one of the biggest scandals of 2019 — if not the biggest so far, and to our surprise, Kim Kardashian's take on it enlightening and sophisticated.
The college admissions scam has been one of the biggest scandals of 2019 — if not the biggest so far, and to our surprise, Kim Kardashian's take on it enlightening and sophisticated.
Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin, among dozens of others, were caught bribing college administrators with hundreds of thousands of dollars, to get their kids into college.
For college entrance exams, there were paid people posing as the students and writing the test for them, and other students had their exams corrected on the inside before officially having them submitted.
This means that some parents were trying to have their children recruited as an athlete — regardless of their athletic abilities.
They would go as far as superimposing their child's face onto a professional athlete's body using Photoshop.
As far as they knew, they were simply getting into elite colleges because they were deserving.
She did not hold back in the slightest, and we're all shocked — but in a good way.
Which is a very good point.
Were those other parents just expecting their kids to magically become scholars after cheating their way into college?
She implied that just because they have so much that is "accessible" to them, doesn't necessarily make it a good idea.
"To buy your way into something just wouldn't benefit anybody," she said.
Preach, Kim!
She then brought up that she is studying to be a lawyer, and that her kids have seen her studying and working hard for what she wants — setting a good example.
"And them seeing that I have this filming career, and that I'm having makeup samples tested all over my arm, while I'm trying to read my flashcards..."
Kim also explained that it is especially inspiring that she is in her late thirties, trying to finish college and become an attorney.
"It's never too late and there really is no easy way out."
"During the week at night, there's a lot of time I'm like, ‘Babe, you need to take the kids.' He's honestly really stepped it up and I'm so grateful to him for doing that," she said.
She said that she hasn't taken the "easy route" by any means.
"You know what. I have my full-time filming job. I have my beauty business. I work full time and I'm going to take on another 18 hours a week that's required.' Some people just didn't really understand how it works, and I think people assume that I'm just prepping for the Bar and not actually studying or going to school."
Do you with Kim, that parents should not be helping their children cut corners in life? Do you believe that truly Kim stands by those values?
