“Firstly, I want to take the time thank you guys for doing this podcast. Listening to the first episode, I can tell you guys put a lot of effort and care to provide a 360 degree perspective of the scandal. I am a practicing physician and also a Black American. I had to take numerous of tests to get to where I am today. ACT, SAT, MCAT, USMLE Step 1,2, and 3, OKAPS, and Board certification exams and thats not including the thousands of practice tests to prepare for those exams. You are right, the victims of these crimes go into the millions. I have seen people get kicked out of school because they couldnt pass a tests. There are fields of broken dreams & aspirations because people all over couldnt get a high enough score or pass these national standardize test. However, the bigger crime is these so called parents given these kids the false sense of accomplishment that easily turns into entitlement & judgement against the kids that dont do as well as them on these tests. However, there is nothing you tell me that can show that these kids were completely oblivious to the fraud they were doing. Overall, this shows that the testing industry and educational is just as corrupt as a Panamanian government. It is goin to get even more corrupt as jobs become automated and the opportunity to get stable unskilled jobs disappear. This doesnt bode well for blacks, poor, and other minority population, because we will become more vulnerable to be taken advantage of. We all know what it is but justice should still be pressed to the furthest extent. However, I also know that race, privilege, and money will save most of these people from irreparable disaster. I appreciate you guys putting in the work and getting everything on wax. Keep up the good work!”
