It makes me angry to see the press piling on rich families who bribe college officials to allow their children into elite universities. These families are giving money to those who have less, just as Jesus told us to do in Matthew 6:20. Jesus never said, "Make sure your children are poor."
For example, some rich parents paid the soccer coach at UCLA money to list their daughter as a soccer recruit. Coaches can bring in recruits who have low high school grades and would otherwise not be admitted to UCLA. The daughter had never played soccer and never will. But, the coach had less money than the parents so it fits Jesus' parable.
This country needs more rich children in college, not fewer. And, when it pleases Jesus, all the better.
