    Like other states, California won’t financially penalize violators, but it will post the names of violators on the state Department of Justice’s website.

    Wow that’s a brutal punishment wtf

        It’s Texas. California loves to Pantomime at decency then cower whenever someone calls to Woke.

        Texas reveals in fascism and torments people for trying to be nice

          Agreed.

          California’s statewide vibes are mask-on liberalism with techbro characteristics but Texas has a stench of chuddery to it that’s been persistent every time I’ve been anywhere there.

          Don’t get me started about Fort Worth. Brief image to share: imagine a parade of meemaw smoothskin with 4-8 Burgerland flags on each of their mobility scooters all in a parade formation and rolling around public walking space (what little there was in Stroadland) deliberately trying to ram into or at least drive off people walking while beeping their little horns and yelling “COMING THROUGH” for some Trump-knows-what reason. joker-amerikkklap

            My neighborhood in Houston is full of legitimately good chill people who would fit into a bodega in Brooklyn as easily as a tackle shop in Kentucky. Its frustrating because I grew up in a neighborhood where people were legit just a bunch of selfish reckless assholes and this ain’t it. They’re not invested in the culture war crap, they don’t want a War with China or to crucify trans kids or whatever. But the power-mad fascists running the state government are just kinda railroading through insane bullshit because they can. Its enervating to just watch it all wash over us like a tidal wave of shit.

    Those were still a thing?

    I thought rich parents just made a sizable donation to get their kids in.

      they are totally still a thing at so-called competitive admission schools. I met somebody once who dropped they were a “double legacy” at Vassar as an unironic brag and I immediately made it their nickname and took every opportunity to bring it up, because that should not be a thing.

        Imagine being proud of that.

        And I thought my degree was Mickey Mouse (well according to employers it is) because I went to a state school and did not major in STEM.

      Legacy admissions seems like a great way to maintain social hierarchy and keep the rich donors friendly without having an explicit paper trail. Also, I don’t think doctors and lawyers have “make 6 to 7 figure bribe” money lying around, and I think their kids are the main target demo of legacy admissions

        I imagined like $10k or something along those lines. It doesn’t take much to bribe.

        Senators sell out humanity for way less than I expected, for sure.

    hey remember that massive admissions scandal from a few years ago that showed rampant abuse of wealth to falsify and finesse applications as well as outright bribery of administrators

    Is it really a ban if there’s no meaningful penalty for ignoring the ban? thonk-cri

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
