Ep. 36 - Death to the Ivy League Mindset
Sunday Apr 18, 2021
Sunday Apr 18, 2021
The Unverifieds discuss the new Netflix documentary Operation Varsity Blues, which is all about the infamous 2019 college admissions scandal, and how even though the documentary is enjoyable, it misses the mark of putting more blame on the true culprits: the elite colleges themselves (as opposed to bad-apple rich parents and sports coaches). They also talk about how the cultivation of the "Ivy League mindset" poisons society, especially minority communities in creating stratified intra-racial hierarchies. Lastly, Liza gets her long-held wish to talk about Risky Business on a podcast!
