Vote for all Democrats this fall for SB and it will be more of the same.

Supported by facts:
Racial Composisiton of Admitted TJHSST Classes (Percent)
2020 (Before Reform)[2] 2021 (After Reform)[3]
Asian 73.0 54.36
White 17.7 22.36
Black ≤2.1[a] 7.09
Hispanic 3.3 11.27
Multiracial/Other 6.0 4.91

Only, one race got suppressed!

Asians were not suppressed by the new admissions process. They continued to be admitted at a rate slightly higher than their percentage of the applicant pool. Indeed, the new admissions process resulted in a distribution of offers that fairly closely mirrored the pool of applicants, meaning for the first time in its history, the TJ admissions process can be considered race-neutral.

The prior admissions process manifestly suppressed the admission rates of Black and Hispanic students, and to a lesser but still significant extent, white students. The delta between the numbers in 2024 and 2025, when viewed through a lens of statistical significance, are attributable with a very high level of confidence to the disparate impact of the old admissions process.

Asian American strength at TJ grew organically from 19% in 1985 to 73% in 2020, in gradual increments of approximately 1.54% per year over the 35 year period. In one single year, 2020, the Asian American strength was forced down by 18% from 73% back to 54.36%. And there was no deliberate racial balancing effort that took place?

That's a different question. There was certainly a deliberate effort to remove obstacles for low-income families, which had an impact on the racial balance of the class because in Northern Virginia, race and socioeconomic status track together fairly nearly.

It cannot be the case that an effort to eliminate racial or socioeconomic discrimination, however unintentional it may have been, is illegal. Otherwise any pre-existing systemic discrimination becomes institutionalized, and the low-income Asian students who were the greatest beneficiaries of the new admissions process get shut out of opportunities that they richly deserve.

So, to admit 1 low-income Asian student, illegally eliminate potentially 4 middle class Asian students from TJ. That is racial engineering.

with new admission, middle income as well as low-income Asian students are subject to racial quota limit. As the texts show, the evil board's goal was to bring down the overall asian student strength from 73% to 54.36%, and that's what was accomplished. If the intention was to do outreach and bring-in additional low-income asian students, the asian american representation would have gone over 73%, not below. There was no outreach effort targeting low-income asian students in the past, present, or any planned for future. The evil eyes had one target and one focus, reduce the Asian student strength.

Literally every assertion in this post is false and outside of the bounds of logic.

True, they overlook that the selection committee doesn't know the race of any applicants because the process is race blind.

Further, their assertions about Asian enrollment are in reference to a text message with regard to an initiative that was never implemented.

Except that's false since that never happened. Asians, who make up 15% of the county, are the majority in these programs. To claim they're being treated unfairly by a race-blind selection process is frankly unhinged.

This idiot is brainwashed and programmed to repeat this lie, and ignore the fact that asian american representation went from 73% to 54% in just one admission cycle.

Can someone else explain why and how is it illegal and unconstitutional to suppress students of one race and replace them with students of other races for political gain?

I mean, I am just a dumb non-Asian but even I know that 54% is still a majority.

Where in the Constitution are Asians given a right to exclusive use of public goods like special education programs?

I mean, personally, I think we should just abolish programs like TJ. Tax money shouldn’t pay for that, especially if it’s monopolized be a certain group.

Weak argument. Voter ID laws are also race blind.

The emails of the school board are littered with references to improving diversity and equity, words that are primarily associated with race. They scrapped the merit lottery, but that never changed their intent to alter the racial demographics. They just came up with a new plan.

Imagine TJ was 70% black. Do you think the school board would have done anything to reduce the numbers?

They didn't do anything to reduce the numbers here. They worked to improve numbers from underrepresented groups. Had the new stats been 70% Asian, 10% white, 10% Black, and 10% Hispanic, FCPS would have thrown a party to celebrate.

You are trying to make it about Asian students when it was not about Asian students. Asian students would not have borne the brunt of the changes to the admissions process had the previous process not handed them so many structural and cultural advantages.

Asians were actually disadvantaged. FCPS tried several times before the current admission change and each time FCPS tried to reduce the Asian numbers. Black and Hispanic students were already receiving preferences under the old admission system just like the system for UC. UC adopted a plan to increase black student numbers by instructing the readers to give preference to black applicants. TJ had the similar system where they would give a bump to URMs.
