Diplomas for sale: no classes required. Inside one of Louisiana’s unapproved schools

https://www.yahoo.com/news/diplomas-sale-465-no-classes-080802651.html


"Unlike public schools, formal homeschooling programs or traditional private schools, nearly 9,000 private schools in Louisiana don’t need state approval to grant degrees. Nearly every one of those unapproved schools was created to serve a single homeschooling family, but some have buildings, classrooms, teachers and dozens of students."

 

Seen it before. What can I do? Nothing. Fraudsters gonna defraud. They do it with fake-degree-granting "universities" and "colleges." They do it with fake-diploma "High schools." Call me when you find a bogus Kindergarten. If you can't - I'll maybe find one for you. I just can't get worked up about this. Me go nap now. Try me later. zzzzzzz

 

Ah for the Good Old Daze with schools like Kennedy Western and Kensington and hard fought battles here on DI over who was legitimate though unaccredited and those who were out right mills. Bears' Guide was the bible and many were the students who would have been misled but for the giants who posted here.

There are still a few giants among us but more have passed on or even Passed On.

 

Yes. For-Prophet schools and Non-Prophets alike. And like the traditional Bible, it was widely quoted and egregiously misquoted, by zealous believers and wild-eyed detractors. A book to inspire worship and, at times, hysteria. It did both, phenomenally well.

"Come into the Revival Tent with me, Brother, Sister - and hear the Word. Tonight's sermon is based on the First Commandment: 'Thou Shalt Not Claim False Accreditation.' And first, Sister will sing for us. 'The Bible's Right - Somebody Wrong.' "

 

Sister O.M Terrell was amazing. That lady can make ME get down on my knees and pray. This is my favourite - there are a dozen or more of her songs on Youtube. More on Sister, here. She went to her Reward in 2006, at the age of 95.

It's just like Marc Cohn's words in "Walkin' in Memphis," as he asked for admission at the Revival Tent.
She said "Son, are you a Christian?"
I said "Ma'am, I'm one tonight."
