“The bottom line is the (TJ) policy was adopted in order to, frankly, reduce the number of Asian Americans that were attending Thomas Jefferson,” Sen. Chap Petersen said. “And all you have to do is look at all the public comments that were being made at the time.”

You do realize this was already illegal? And nobody used race as a factor.

Try to understand proxy discrimination, you racist dumbass!

Providing access to kids who don't go to wealthy middle schools is really horrible.

Except that you didn’t.

That is exactly what the new plan does.

No. What the new plan did was to discriminate Asian Americans as ruled by the federal court. This is also confirmed by the VA house bill that was just passed.

The new process opened seats to unqualified kids across FCPS -- even low-income middle schools. TJ is a governor school - it wasn't set aside for racial discriminations.

The admitted applicants are qualified. GPA was higher than previous classes.

The process shouldn't support discrimination against race or income. When only 0.6% of a class is economically-disadvantaged you know there is a problem.

Your lies have been debunked numerous times in this forum. Repeating lies won't make them true.

Sorry you have trouble with basic facts:
"The average GPA for applicants (3.9074) is slightly higher this year than it has been in the past five years. "
"Economically disadvantaged students increased from 0.62% (2020-21) to 25.09%."
"Students from historically underrepresented schools increased from 5.56% (2020-21) to 30.73%."
"In the last 10 years, this is the first time all FCPS middle schools had students who were accepted into TJ. "

As I said, people have debunked this many times. Are you dumb or blind? I guess both.
The watered-down GPAs can never distinguish the students that TJ truly needs. The TJ reform intentionally eliminated the TJ entrance exam and teacher's recommendations, the top 2 measures for one's potential and suitability for TJ.

You may disagree on interpretation, but these are FACTS.

MORE kids from low-income middle schools.
MORE kids from low-income families.

And they were all "qualified".

That's false!
As a matter of fact, many of them are unqualified and lots of kids way more deserving were denied due to the racist change.
And it doesn't matter they're low income if they're unqualified.

Why do you think they are "unqualified"? Please try to answer without sounding like an entitled elitist.

Because they needed a favor from a racist policy to get in and they're replacing the academically more deserving kids. That's a shame!

Just because there are other qualified students doesn't make them unqualified.

No one "deserves" to be at TJ.

Yes they're unqualified. If they were qualified, they would have been able to get in before the racist change.

There are tons of qualified students who are NOT admitted. You think there are only 550 "qualified" students in the area?

"qualified" to be among the top 550 or whatever that number is. dumbass!

There could be a 1000+ students "qualified" to be at TJ. Just because some kids were more prepped than others doesn't mean they are more "qualified". It just means they were more "prepped".

nah, the burden of proof is on you to provide evidence: 1) they're more prepared and 2) they're less qualified because they're more prepped.

In 2010, there were 1,450 8th FCPS graders in Geometry Honors or above. You really think the majority of them (and similar kids from LCPS, APS, FCC, and PWC) couldn't hack it at TJ?

There are tons of "qualified" applicants. Some may rank higher in arbitrary admissions scoring than others because of planning/prepping. That does not make them any more "deserving". No one is entitled to a spot.

Right, I think majority of them couldn't.
A racist policy based "proxy discrimination" certainly doesn't make them deserving regardless of their skin color or income.

That is BS and you know it. You’re not discussing in good faith at all.

Are you a troll trying to make Asian parents look irrational and hateful?

And don’t pretend liberals don’t hate Asians already, not only related to TJ reforms. You must be delusional if you think otherwise.

WTF are you talking about? More irrational posts - out of touch from reality.

Out of touch? Is that why your cons were ruled as racists in federal court and confirmed by the VA HB that was passed by a majority including democratic senators?

Seems some posters are incapable of making a rational post based on facts and without name calling. They are so over-the-top that they come off as trolls.

I take it you have nothing concrete to say.

Makes sense that their kids wouldn’t get into TJ. But at least now they feel like they have an excuse.

DP. They’re telling YOU that you have nothing concrete to say.

Elite level Russian disinformation tactic is to blame your opponent of that which you are guilty.

When you cry that only occupying 54% of seats in a class instead of 75% is racist, you are confirming that YOU are the person who has racist feelings. But it makes you feel better to say “nuh uh, YOU are!” or “I know you are but what am I?”

It’s what five-year olds do when they have no other recourse and it’s pathetic.

The fact that a federal judge saw fit to agree with you clowns and parrot your talking points is a scathing indictment of the American Justice system.

As I said, people have debunked this many times. Are you dumb or blind? I guess both.
The watered-down GPAs can never distinguish the students that TJ truly needs. The TJ reform intentionally eliminated the TJ entrance exam and teacher's recommendations, the top 2 measures for one's potential and suitability for TJ.

You may disagree on interpretation, but these are FACTS.

MORE kids from low-income middle schools.
MORE kids from low-income families.

And they were all "qualified".

That's false!
As a matter of fact, many of them are unqualified and lots of kids way more deserving were denied due to the racist change.
And it doesn't matter they're low income if they're unqualified.

Why do you think they are "unqualified"? Please try to answer without sounding like an entitled elitist.

Because they needed a favor from a racist policy to get in and they're replacing the academically more deserving kids. That's a shame!

Just because there are other qualified students doesn't make them unqualified.

No one "deserves" to be at TJ.

Yes they're unqualified. If they were qualified, they would have been able to get in before the racist change.

There are tons of qualified students who are NOT admitted. You think there are only 550 "qualified" students in the area?

"qualified" to be among the top 550 or whatever that number is. dumbass!

There could be a 1000+ students "qualified" to be at TJ. Just because some kids were more prepped than others doesn't mean they are more "qualified". It just means they were more "prepped".

nah, the burden of proof is on you to provide evidence: 1) they're more prepared and 2) they're less qualified because they're more prepped.

In 2010, there were 1,450 8th FCPS graders in Geometry Honors or above. You really think the majority of them (and similar kids from LCPS, APS, FCC, and PWC) couldn't hack it at TJ?

There are tons of "qualified" applicants. Some may rank higher in arbitrary admissions scoring than others because of planning/prepping. That does not make them any more "deserving". No one is entitled to a spot.

Right, I think majority of them couldn't.
A racist policy based "proxy discrimination" certainly doesn't make them deserving regardless of their skin color or income.

That is BS and you know it. You’re not discussing in good faith at all.

Are you a troll trying to make Asian parents look irrational and hateful?

And don’t pretend liberals don’t hate Asians already, not only related to TJ reforms. You must be delusional if you think otherwise.

WTF are you talking about? More irrational posts - out of touch from reality.

Out of touch? Is that why your cons were ruled as racists in federal court and confirmed by the VA HB that was passed by a majority including democratic senators?

Seems some posters are incapable of making a rational post based on facts and without name calling. They are so over-the-top that they come off as trolls.

I take it you have nothing concrete to say.

DP. They’re telling YOU that you have nothing concrete to say.

Elite level Russian disinformation tactic is to blame your opponent of that which you are guilty.

When you cry that only occupying 54% of seats in a class instead of 75% is racist, you are confirming that YOU are the person who has racist feelings. But it makes you feel better to say “nuh uh, YOU are!” or “I know you are but what am I?”

It’s what five-year olds do when they have no other recourse and it’s pathetic.

The fact that a federal judge saw fit to agree with you clowns and parrot your talking points is a scathing indictment of the American Justice system.

Exactly. It’s like trying to have a conversation with a cranky 5 year old.

Providing access to kids who don't go to wealthy middle schools is really horrible.

Except that you didn’t.

That is exactly what the new plan does.

No. What the new plan did was to discriminate Asian Americans as ruled by the federal court. This is also confirmed by the VA house bill that was just passed.

The new process opened seats to unqualified kids across FCPS -- even low-income middle schools. TJ is a governor school - it wasn't set aside for racial discriminations.

The admitted applicants are qualified. GPA was higher than previous classes.

The process shouldn't support discrimination against race or income. When only 0.6% of a class is economically-disadvantaged you know there is a problem.

Your lies have been debunked numerous times in this forum. Repeating lies won't make them true.

Sorry you have trouble with basic facts:
"The average GPA for applicants (3.9074) is slightly higher this year than it has been in the past five years. "
"Economically disadvantaged students increased from 0.62% (2020-21) to 25.09%."

Trying to fight FCPS on this issue probably wasn’t a good idea. Knowing how FCPS does things, I won’t be surprised if they come up with a new admissions process that will bring even less Asians in than the current one.

That is exactly what the new plan does.

I don't believe the fight is about percentages, but if the right percentage is getting into TJ or not. The problem is with all the quotas and any other factors that are designed specifically undermine the kids from academic oriented families or attending AAP center schools and/or chose to live (buy/rent) in neighborhoods for better rated schools. These factors aren't exclusive to asian americans though they are affected affected, but its intent of the fcps board is pretty clear from the start and agreed by the judge as well.

If the admissions are purely based on merit and not biased against any specific group of kids especially race (ex: selection criteria is limited to what kids learn/perform in school only at no additional expense) and if the fcps is very transparent/upfront about the whole selection process, then no one will actually mind or question even if it results in lesser percent of asians or any other group. Quotas and/or free points go against merit/talent as it leads to segregation and infighting and which is the major reason for many parents being upset about the new admission process.

While most of the conversations here about TJ this has implications for other governors schools as well. The music art and drama one in Hampton roads has also had issues with student quality due to attempts to achieve socioeconomic balance etc. Kids who struggle to read music etc. being chosen over someone who has literally starred in a broadway play. This bill may effect change in other governors schools too.

The fact that you clowns don’t like the Constitution and want to make “equity” the new state religion is precisely why people like Asra Nomani fight to oppose the likes of slimy cowards like Scott Brabrand, Stella Pekarsky, and Elaine Tholen - and why they are winning. You care about short-term political gains to appease the “oppressed” and they care about preserving the foundations of a free civil society.
