The 2016 political season is just
pening, but as each candidate
pens his or her mouth, what’s leav-
ng their lips is frequently false.
Here are a few examples:
Speaking on April 24, U.S. Sen.
arco Rubio (R-Fla.) declared that
orldwide threats “require strong
merican leadership, which we
annot exert as long as we eviscer-
te military spending, which is
hat we are doing now. We are
lacing our nation at a dangerous
osition.” Referring to this nation’s
uclear stockpiles, Rubio said,
We are the only nation that is not
odernizing its nuclear weapons.”
Politifact’s Finding: “Rubio said
that the United States ‘is not mod-
ernizing its nuclear weapons.’
Most of the experts we interviewed
disputed Rubio’s statement. While
the United States has reduced the
number of warheads, it has also
been modernizing nuclear equip-
ment and has plans to continue to
do so. We rate this claim False.”
FactCheck.org said that in U.S.
Senator Ted Cruz’s (R-Texas) offi-
cial announcement of his run for
president, he “repeated several
misleading claims that we have
written about before:
• Cruz vowed to repeal ‘every
word of Common Core,’ which he
called an effort by the federal gov-
ernment to ‘dictate school curricu-
lum.’ As we have said before, the
standards were developed by gov-
ernors and state education officials
and voluntarily adopted by states,
and the curriculum is set by state
and local school officials.
• “Cruz also warned that the
Affordable Care Act puts the gov-
ernment ‘between you and your
doctor.’ As we wrote when Cruz
made a similar claim back in 2013,
the law doesn’t create a govern-
ment-run system. If anything, the
law comes between you and your
insurance company, forbidding
them from capping your coverage
or charging you more based on
health status…”
On a May 5 visit to Nevada,
Former Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton said, “This is where I dif-
fer with everybody on the
Republican side. Make no mistake:
Not a single Republican candidate,
announced or potential, is clearly
and consistently supporting a path
to citizenship. Not one. When they
talk about legal status, that is code
for second-class status.”
Politifact: said, “She’s telling voters
who want a path to citizenship that
there’s no one on the Republican side
who supports that issue. That is not
accurate. There is one — [Senator
Lindsey] Graham. She does have a
point that the other dozen or so can-
didates either have never backed a
path to citizenship or have sent
mixed signals. On balance, we rate
Clinton’s claim Mostly False.”
FactCheck.org noted, “In March,
[Ben] Carson claimed that being
gay is ‘absolutely’ a choice, and as
proof he said ‘a lot of people’ go
into prison and change their sexual
orientation while incarcerated.
There is no evidence to support
these claims. Carson apologized
for his remarks, but in doing so
made another error by claiming
that ‘we do know, however, that we
are always born male and female.’
That’s not entirely accurate.
Disorders of sex development, also
known as intersex disorders, occur
in about one in 4,500 births and
have raised questions about the
male-female gender dichotomy.”

Corinthian Colleges, Inc. had
ore than 77,000 students at its
eak, although those numbers have
ropped since then. Their students,
n 2012-2013 were mostly adults
ho worked full time, mostly
inority (51.8 percent), and mostly
ow-income enough to qualify for
ell Grants (72.9 percent). Accord-
ng to one source, these students
orrowed more than $7,600 each
ear to pay for their education.
Corinthian is among the for-
rofit schools that depend on the
ederal government for their
ncome stream. They direct them
o apply for Pell grants, push them
o seek federal student loans that
ave subsidized interest rates, and
ncourage them to get bank loans
with higher interest rates. They tell
students that these loans are worth
it because it will help them get bet-
ter jobs later.
The federal government has been
scrutinizing Corinthian and other
for-profit colleges for years, espe-
cially because they have found that
these colleges often exaggerate
their success in placing students in
better jobs. Now, Corinthian
Colleges have shut down, leaving
more than 16,000 students stranded.
These students have used up semes-
ters of their Pell grant eligibility
(which is capped at 12 semesters),
and have thousands of dollars of
debt. If they are mid-degree, they
face the challenge of trying to trans-
fer credits to another college. While
there may be some relief for these
students who owe money, others
will either be forced to repay debt or
imperil their credit standing.
Is Corinthian the exception, or is
it the rule in the world of for-prof-
it colleges? We know that these
colleges target adult learners, and
market to minority populations.
More than half of the students at
Corinthian were students of color,
and at many of the other for-profit
colleges the enrollment of minority
students exceeded 30 percent. We
know that these colleges rely on
tuitions for their profit, which
means that when they find students
who qualify for Pell grants, it
boosts their bottom line.
According to the California
Association of Private Post-sec-
ondary Schools (CAPPS), at least
60 percent of the students enrolled
in the top six for-profit colleges
received Pell grants. Corinthian
topped the group with nearly 73
percent of their students receiving
Pell grants, but ITT Technical
Institutes was not far behind with a
71.8 of their students receiving
Pell grants. In comparison, 39 per-
cent of the students at public col-
leges, and 34 percent at private
nonprofit colleges have Pell grants.
Some for-profit colleges do a
better job than Corinthian, and
many have not run into trouble
with the federal government.
Still, because taxpayer dollars are
being used to finance these col-
leges, they must be more careful-
ly scrutinized both by the federal
government and by accrediting
associations. Furthermore, the
Corinthian debacle is a warning
to students who might get a lower
cost and better education by
going to a public university or to
a community college. Before
enrolling in one of these colleges,
students need to consider other
options, and also check on the
placement records these schools
like to brag about.
Students of color are especially
vulnerable to the hype these col-
leges offer. They say they provide
opportunities and jobs, but too
often they don’t. They market to
those at the periphery; those who
believe their lives would be signif-
icantly improved with education.
Their lives can improve with more
learning, but the students must
beware of for-profit colleges that
often promise more than they can
give, and push students into debt.
The closing of the Corinthian
Colleges, Inc. is a cautionary tale
for those who choose for-profit
colleges as the gateway for their
hopes and dreams.

analyzed Senator
Rand Paul’s recent comment that
the attack on the Muhammad Art
Exhibit and Cartoon Contest in
Garland, Texas, was “an example
of how we do need to secure our
border.”
However, the fact-checkers not-
ed, “but neither of the attackers
crossed the southern border to gain
access to the U.S. Both were
Americans who were believed to
have been radicalized in their
hometown of Phoenix.”
This is going to be a long and
bitter campaign to determine who
will become our next president. To
remain informed and astute, voters
will need to regularly check out the
candidates’ assertions. After all,
just because politicians move their
lips doesn’t mean we have to
believe them.

(AP) — The United States heard
widespread concern Monday ove
excessive use of force by law
enforcement officials against ethni
minorities as it faced the U.N.’
main human rights body for
review of its record.
Washington also faced calls to
work toward abolishing the death
penalty, push ahead with closing th
Guantanamo Bay prison and ensur
effective safeguards against abuses
of Internet surveillance as i
appeared before the U.N. Human
Rights Council in Geneva. This
year’s is the second review of the
U.S. rights record, following the
first in 2010.
A string of countries ranging from
Malaysia to Mexico pressed the
U.S. to redouble efforts to prevent
police using excessive force against
minorities.
“We must rededicate ourselves to
ensuring that our civil-rights laws
live up to our promise,” Justice
Department official James Cadogan
told delegates, adding that that is
particularly important in the area of
police practices and pointing to
recent high-profile cases of officers
killing unarmed Black residents.
“These events challenge us to do
better and to work harder fo
progress through both dialogue and
action,” he said at the session’s
opening. He added that the govern-
ment has the authority to prosecute
officials who “wilfully use exces-
sive force” and that criminal charges
have been brought against more
than 400 law enforcement officials
in the last six years.◊
