Below is the link to the brief filed by plaintiffs opposing the stay

I stopped reading when PLF made the argument that the Admissions Office was free to use the previous admissions process to select students instead of developing a new process. They plainly are not as two of the exams that were previously used no longer exist and developing a plan for assessing the Quant-Q, using it to cull a list of semifinalists, and then gathering teacher recommendations would almost certainly drive the process well into the fall.

Can’t they use this year’s test results and GPA and just go with that?

Remove bonus points for middle school, free lunch, etc?

If they end up with too many kids with the same exact score then lottery.

The “test” was problematic for a variety reasons.

It was not proctored
It did not test math.
It was not a validated test - the TJ admissions office created it specifically to increase racial balance.

It’s all they have. Either that or complete lottery.

There are plenty of nationally normed tests available. Pick one, administer it in April/May. Ranks kids according to the test and GPA and send decisions in June.

By April/May? Is that a joke?

They have the GPA and test results.

They sent decisions in June last year.

There was no test. It wasn’t even proctored.

I wonder who is so driven to go to TJ that they’d cheat on that test. Or falsely say they are low-income.

The admissions office wrote the questions such that if you were reading the PLAIN LANGUAGE, every single child should have said yes.

People with morals didn’t.

I totally disagree. I called the admissions office and asked for clarification. The staff member, a female, said that they were getting this question a lot and yes, it was fine to answer yes based on free meals for every student this year. I followed up with an email to get it in writing.

The admissions staff maybe wanted to have as many kids labeled “low income” as possible to make the press release for the class of 2026 look good? This is the only logical explanation.

No matter how you try to rationalize it, you know it was wrong.

How did you help your kid cheat on the test?

I am an Indian mother who disagrees with the changes to the admissions process. This insane woman does not speak for me and my family and my culture. She is a cancer on education in Northern Virginia.

Please I beg of you, do not allow this monster to destroy your perception of us. We must fight this process and this school board but this woman is burning down the house for attention.

Asra's been on the right side of this issue from day one fighting. This video shows just how deplorable our school board is willing to act.

The video doesn’t show the School Board doing anything. It shows that she overstays her time - the video cuts off, conveniently, when this happens - and her shouting at security people who get nowhere near her.

Jeez. That woman would do anything tweets.

I find her courageous. She also deserves a victory lap.

She's a joke. That video is embarrassing.

I genuinely hope she gets help.

I can’t tell what exactly her words are when she yelling about white people? Can someone tell me?

It’s so bizarre.

Actually she's probably fine, it's just performative... she knows what she's doing is hypermelodramatic, akin to the CRT book-banners, etc.

She and her friends are destroying TJ. And the federal judge is no better - a senile 81 year old who spends all day watching Fox News. There's no reason why he shouldn't issue a stay since the admission process for this year is nearly done. Glad my kids already graduated from TJ, but I'm sorry that others won't have the same great experience.

I wouldn't have behaved how she behaved but I find it ironic for people on the left to criticize her for her behavior because this is the exact performative tactic that many Democrats use to advance their cause. You guys became all moist when Greta Thunberg stood on the stage showing "HOW DARE YOU!"

I’ve seen a lot of 16 year olds throw tantrums in order to get their way.

Asra is nearly 60. What’s her excuse?

I am worried for her son. She is out of control and really does damage to the cause of having a merit-based admissions system. I disagree with the admission changes and think the lawsuit had merit but I cannot stand her tactics and behavior. It definitely does not help the cause.

All the rants against this Asian woman on here fighting discrimination (which has been proven in a court of law) is a proof that Asians will be stepped on but they are too afraid to do the same to the AA.

I am an Asian American woman who posted previously that I strongly disagree with her tactics and believe she is hurting the cause of fair admissions. I did not rant; I simply expressed my disagreement with her tactics.

You are a pretend Asian. White parents are experts when it comes to sabotaging. Just check out the thread about the Sidwell parents.

Her tactic was to sue the fcps etc. in state and federal courts. She has every right to take legal actions for legal redress and remedy just as you have a right to bring legal actions if you so chose. You would not dare say what you said if that person you were criticizing was AA- at least not publicly.
