If her credentials were legit, why didn't she do her damnedest to prove that they were? It seems she threw up her hands and went off in a huff; not exactly the behavior of an innocent. And how hard would it be to verify that she indeed had a degree from Tulsa? Tulsa, even though it resides in the third-world country known as Oklahoma, is only a phone call away. If Ms. Robertson crumbles under the weight of six plucky high school students, imagine what would happen when faced with a whole school building full of them. I say good riddance and good on these kids for questioning someone who didn't pass the sniff test.

I think it's good journalism training to spend time in the alley.

"I do feel it is my responsibility. As superintendent I feel like I let the teachers and the students down."

"Feel?" Literally? He shouldn't "feel like" he let them down - he DID LET THEM DOWN!

Reminds me of (r)Money "feeling like" he didn't serve in Viet Nam. Because he didn't.

Like Donald J. Trump numbering the second floor of The Trump Tower as 12?

Kansas lets girls attend school? Does anything in this God-forsaken country work the way it's supposed to?!?

I'm surprised the good Kansans don't throw things at the girls as they walk to school.

Whoopsie, forgot to read the line under the byline (what's that called, anyhow?) How extremely unoriginal of me!

Anyone can be nominated for a Pulitzer. Just saying.

Shouldn't the USDA stamp be followed by "Choice","Prime" or "#1"?I mean it is Kansas, which was the terminus of the Chisholm Trail from which cattle were put on trains for a nice ride to the slaughterhouses inthe city of broad shoulders.

Apparently, Corllins (aka Corlins; they're not consistent in how they spell it) is run by something called the "Alias Universities Group" which is based in Pakistan - in particular, some guy's apartment in Karachi. He has around 15 of these fake universities by now.
