What Would Danny Tanner Would Have To Say About Lori Loughlin

It seems to me that the lessons from Danny Tanner all these years were just going into one ear and out of the other. I never allow myself to celebrity worship or confuse a person with the character they portray on TV. I found it discussing that so many people said that they were surprised that Lori Loughlin could have been apart of the college scandal because of aunt Becky. Two things can still be true and human beings prove it all the time. I've seen this play out and people are really delusional on thinking that a road to hell being paved with good intent is something new.

Aunt Becky is not force feeding college onto her children, nor is the character from Desperate Housewives. These were the acts of Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin, two actors being charged with the college admissions cheating scandal. Though Huffman was only found to have given $15000 for bribes, Loughlin and her husband were charged with giving over $500,000 to get there daughter, Olivia Jade, a woman who has admitted on her YouTube channel to not care about college, into elite schools. This is just after it has been reported that schools have sought to prosecute parents who put different addresses to get their children zoned to better schools after being ignored for living in "rougher areas". The world is waiting to see if the judges go easy on them based on status, race or both.
Olivia Jade has already dropped out of school and has shut down comments on her youtube channel in light of getting caught up in this scandal. Seems to me and everyone else that she would have been all to willing to take away much more deserving students if the light was never shined on this at all. Hallmark, Full House and all a lot of endorsers for Olivia Jade have all dissociated. The lesson that "I don't want to put too much pressure on my children" as Lori has been quoted for saying in video interviews, will all be for not. If these privileged people can only live in a world of wealth and now all of their sources of income is gone or going, it is only a matter of time till they crumble under the pressure.

Let's be honest, the chances of Olivia and her sister Isabella marrying rich is still an option. So there's no need of a valuable lesson to be learned by Uncle Jesse.

Tupac Shakur was quoted to saying that rich should give to the poor.  "Imagine if a corporation went out to a playground and gave the kids a ball to play with and the one kid who shared the most they give him/her a scholarship. That would give people hope. Where there's hopelessness there is revolution".

For too long people with the means to not only get their kids all the best advantages and head starts are now also taking short cuts. the former is tough enough for poor people but the ladder is unacceptable.

I find it hilarious that their daughter snitched on her father on what he did with his parents college money to start his fashion business. I call that a nail in a the coffin.

There is a huge difference between what these two women have done but it is still typical of people with means that feel that cutting corners even though you could just use the advantages allowed within the scope of your wealth, connections and means to get ahead. Poor people and poor minorities in general are usually over looked in this country. Even though we tell our children that if they do the right thing they can make it. The truth is this is not just a Hollywood elite problem. You have people with connects, legacies, kin folk, brothers and relatives who help people cut corners all the time. Perks are one things, but when you bulldoze obstetrical out of the way and then complain about structures such as affirmative action when a minority is placed in the same system is complete and utter hypocrisy. There is nothing more affirmative than the act of throwing your money around. I believe that every parent who has been arrested for using a different address to get their child out of a ghetto school into a school that matches the child abilities. The kids who's college apps ignored due to the name on the page or the area they are from, should all be looked into.

Having a snobby "you don't belong here" attitude is not just a rich thing. This is not new. Once we stop circling the wagons on a particular perk and start opening lanes for children who truly earn it and allowing more minorities to make up for the disproportions being done for decades things will be better. If a person who is a legacy or a person with a mentality that its their right to go to a
