A Fairfax County school board member admitted in a text message to a fellow board member that the district’s new equity-focused admissions policy for an advanced high school in Virginia has undertones of anti-Asian discrimination.

School board member Abrar Omeish texted board member Stella Pekarsky: “I mean there has been an anti asian feel underlying some of this, hate to say it lol,” according to correspondence obtained by non-profit Parents Defending Education. Pekarsky responded: “…I always told people that talking about TJ is a stupid waste of tome [sic].” Omeish replied: “Of course it is…They’re discriminated against in this process too.”


I’m waiting to see if Hannah Natanson at the Post covers this or if they ignore it since it doesn’t fit the Post’s agenda.


Infuriating. As an Asian, I am disgusted that we're vilified (Covid related) by the right-wing, and discriminated against in the name of equity by the left-wing. The best we can ever hope for in the USA is to be ignored.


Well, at least the right wing isn’t systematically pursuing agenda/policy to disadvantage Asians.


Year, Trump constantly referring to the “ China Virus” didn’t do anything to harm Asians .. oh wait.

As an Asian, I’d pick Trump over racist liberals any day of the week.


DP. Asian. I'd never do this but frustration is mounting across the county and the country. The left should work hard to not lose the majority Asian vote it still has. As is, the Latino vote is slippping..

Do you realize the immense hypocrisy of your perspective? African-Americans have been systematically put down for the majority of America's history, and now you are saying that policies to help them succeed must mean that you are being put down.


Putting dumb kids into programs for smart kids is not the best way to help the black race


NP--Agreed. And they're not doing that. They're doing the same things colleges do, which is to admit some students from less represented populations that do not have the same advantages as other populations. This will necessarily reduce the percentage from other populations, but this reduction is not the reason for the change. It is NOT racism.


DP. Completely agree with your point. Kids without the advantages should get the same opportunities as other kids. The tone and logic of your message is what was sorely missing in all the debate and discussion on this topic. The jealousy and hatred towards Asians was clear. People need to realize that the parents of most of these Asian kids came to this country 20-30 years ago when the country was way more right-leaning than it is today. The left did not do us any favors, ever. Yet most of us and our kids support the Democrats. We don't NEED the left. They need us. Once they realize that and treat us with respect, we can work towards a win-win. Not until then.

As an Asian, I’d say get lets eff the left because they’re the cancer to humanity, whether we talk about liberals or communists. It’s way better to deal with idiosyncratic racism by the right.

Where's this big systemic payoff you claim?


What article are you reading? They increased class sizes and increased the percentage proportions of whites. When comparing numbers between the classes of 2024 and 2025, whites increased by 40%.

Progressive translation: polite ethnic cleansing is fine when directed at the bad races.

Bet you'd be singing a different tune if the NBA took a similar approach to Black players.

Why are you mad at the NBA players? You aren’t mad at the NHL players, the PLL players, the professional tennis players, or any white majority sports. All this anti-Black racism. Black people don’t control anything. No need being mat them. I guess you’re too pressed to be up underneath white mommy and daddy to direct that anger at them. Keep kissing white a$$ and see how far it gets you.


Great point, admission reform was driven by white liberals.

I'd cite those, but progressives at least claim not to care about discrimination against white people either. Mostly a lie, but they'll stick to it, especially online.

They don’t mind the whites. It’s the URM’s they don’t want in there?

There’s no basis for criminal charges but there should be a civil investigation against FCPS and the School Board members recalled or removed for malfeasance. Not a single one should ever hold any public office again.

White people aren’t being sabotaged under the system of white supremacy.

It appears that Paragraph 10 of Governor Youngkin's Executive Order, along with the accompanying definition of "inherently divisive concepts" may provide the Virginia Department of Education under Youngkin with a hook to demand that Fairfax County rescind the TJ admissions policy adopted in the fall of 2020 if it wishes to remain designated as a Governor's School.

Ironically, it would be based on the notion that the order should be read with "adverse effects" on Asian students, and not merely "adverse intent," in mind, although given the texts and emails that have emerged one could argue that FCPS's actual intent was to discriminate against Asian students.
