A prep school in Louisiana is alleged to have routinely falsified black students’ transcripts while embellishing their life stories to excite elite colleges into accepting them.
In a lengthy article in The New York Times, former students of T.M. Landry College Preparatory School in Breaux Bridge, Louisiana, testify to being sold a bill of goods by a school administration that did little to prepare its pupils for college and everything to portray themselves as champions of the downtrodden. The school’s students have become viral sensations, such as this video of a 16-year-old student opening his Harvard acceptance letter, with reports on the “Today” show, “Ellen” and “CBS This Morning” all hailing T.M. Landry as a launching pad into society’s upper-crust. Just one problem: the whole school is a sham.
