Disclaimer or confession: in the early 1970s, I paid a smarter friend to take and pass a college test for me that allowed me to exempt a required subject. Now, decades later those with more coins have gotten caught and exposed for college cheating.
Where were all the media spotlights on humanitarian injustice when a tobacco CEO was appointed to the University of Florida’s prestigious Board of Trustees in 2011? With legal-but-lethal tobacco continuing to cheat over 7 million out of life, how did UF (with a medical school) escape campus protest and the national news exposure?
Was it because the majority of tobacco deaths are from the margins that no one cares about, while UF was getting “greased and silenced” by bloodstained loot?
For the record, I didn’t cheat in my three seminarian graduate years.
