snark away - in the absence of cogent arguments, this and name calling is all you have left. |

Chime in and let us know what you think! What's great about this country is that you can't silence people - no matter what ethnicity they are. |
Oh I think it's great. (Nice projection there about silencing!) It's been a real eye-opening experience for many Asians to learn how the 'woke' crowd feel about them. How even though they stood in solidarity as allies, the same will never be reciprocated. It's great to see the way White people viewed Asians way back in the 1800s and early 1900s has not changed or evolved. Just as racist as ever! Keep it up |
This is much better. |
snort.. I don't think so. If the two choices are 1. kid is magnet or 2. Trump as potus... I'll pick #1 every time. My DC hates Trump, as do I. DC would be fine not going to magnet. But the country will not be fine with Trump in the WH. That's a scarier future for my kid than not being in a magnet. -Asian American with a child in magnet. |
dang it.. meant.. "#1 kid not in magnet" |
isn't this the real concern? screw the children, screw the teachers, screw fairfax, But will it get our children into TJ? |
| Every year near election time the local Republicans who can’t win elections in NoVa try to come up with a school-related wedge issue they hope will help them - “they are too pro LBGTQ”; “they will change all the school boundaries”; “they are anti-Asian.” It happens like clock work. Only the gullible or the mean-spirited fall for it. |

It need not be either or.
You can not want Trump and want a fair, race blind admissions test. There is no need to tolerate direct, race based attack on Asians. I Such attacks devalue Fairfax, VA, US.

It is profoundly racist to suggest that tests and a process that largely exclude all but Asian kids from a magnet school are somehow neutral or race-blind.
If this is the hill that area Asians and their stooges like Dick Saslaw want to die on, prepare for a long battle. |
In response, sure you can. There are lots of reasons to want Trump, for example not getting us into new wars and bringing troops home, that aren't in conflict with wanting race blind admissions, which is something that Trumps policy positions appear to be in agreement with. Most people don't 100% agree with any politican or party's views. Trump is polarizing for sure though. |
Look at who applies for TJ, that accounts for a sizable amount of the disparity because the pool of applicants is mostly white and asian to begin with. Anything you have to affirmatively opt in for will skew the process. |
How are non-Asian kids excluded in the admissions process? Are applicants held to different standards according to race? |
Compliments on your imagination? |
