I agree with your philosophical points and share your hope that ODA and the pervert Contreras will be annihilated.
The problem for the Baloney Gal is that she didn't have that Redding diploma back in 2008 when she said she was "degreed." She also lied in 2009 when she told the investigator she had a San Jose State degree. She didn't hook up with Redding until 2010. Whether Redding or San Jose State is accredited or not accredited or legal or illegal really doesn't make a bit of difference. In 2008 she didn't have any degree, so she lied in 2008 when she said she did.
It's like saying you worked for the IRS in 2008. After they check with the Internal Revenue Service and find out you didn't, in 2010 you run down the street to Irv's Restaurant Supply and get a job. It doesn't matter that "IRS" could stand for Irv's Restaurant Supply, and that the Internal Revenue Service has no special rights to those initials. The fact is that in 2008 you didn't work at either place.
Same problem for Baloney Gal. Redding may be the most legal and proper piece of work in non-traditional education, but she never met them until 2010. In 2008 she was not "degreed" by anyone.
