Sad that the actions of the current school board had to prompt such action stating a school cannot discriminate based on race in 2022.

Why is it sad? I think laws like this should be clear and concise. The fact is that it's sad a law like this wasn't on the books already. We shouldn't allow laws like this to be inferred or divined through often nebulous interpretations of tangential statutes.

The law was necessary because we had a school board take a swipe at the Asian community.

Is this law applicable to top colleges that admit white LAX bros with lower sats?

Anyone on here actually following the bill? It was stripped to mirror federal anti discrimination laws already on the books. None of the bans on proxy discrimination or return to standardized tests etc.

They completely gutted this law. It’s basically meaningless in this form. Anti-reform advocates should be absolutely livid that this is the bill that’s going to Youngkin’s desk without the language regarding proxy discrimination and traditional academic factors.

Yes, this would prevent a top college from denying POC LAX bros in favor of white LAX bros with lower stats. That's pretty obvious.
