It would be interesting to see how many kids applied from each category and then were accepted and the percentages for 2029.

Revealing that would show that the Asian American students acceptance rate is the lowest compared to other race groups. That would be like shooting themselves in the foot.

It would explicitly show the democrats blatant racism against Asian people in Northern Virginia.

FALSE.

It shows that Asian students were accepted at a HIGHER rate than most others.

Some groups can claim discrimination based on disparate acceptance rates, but it’s not Asian students.

Everyone: don’t believe PP’s democrat lies.

She and her democrat/progressive allies on the FCPS school board already watered-down TJ admissions and diminished the AAP program. But she will lie to your face about it.

Democrats hate TJ and the AAP program.

what?!

They're the poster angry that the school board shut down people buying their way into TJ before the admission change. They try to make it about "merit," but what they want is the opposite.

You are denying something that is plainly obvious to even the casual observer. Denying it does the opposite of what you intend. Everybody knows that the left discriminates against Asians. No matter how well intentioned that discrimination is, it is still racial discrimination that many people find both obvious and offensive.

There is no racial discrimination in TJ admissions. The process is race blind.

Asians students have one of the highest acceptance rates. Some groups could possibly make a case about discrimination, but it’s not Asian students.

Over-representation doesn't mean there is no discrimination. It is patently obvious to everyone that the changes were made to change the racial composition of the school.

+1

Prior to the admissions change, less than 1% of the accepted class came from economically-disadvantaged families. In a county with 35% of kids coming from ED families that was ridiculous.

The change opened opportunities for kids throughout the area, not just the wealthy feeder schools filled with families who knew how to game the system.

The pay-to-play

Two takeaways from this forum: 1. Some just hate this country no matter what; and 2. Communism still holds market share in today's world, rebranded as equity or don't make me WMAO, just give it to me.

Let's be real...it is not race blind in the true sense because first or last names can sometimes be very revealing.

The admissions team can’t see the student’s name.

You will never convince them they aren't at a disadvantage. They have their grievances, which no amount of facts or reason can address.

Correct me if I am wrong, Asian I know are mostly left leaning, they are more in the educated crowds. How are they discriminates against themselves?

Asians are the most self-loathing species.

Maybe, maybe not. But it's clear that FCPS deeply values the contributions of Asian American students, proudly highlighting their advanced academic achievements in news releases. In many ways, FCPS implicitly acknowledges that TJ’s excellence in STEM is inseparable from the strength of its Asian American student body. The real question is: why aren't other ethnic groups stepping up in the same way?

[Anonymous]

FCPS celebrates it’s artists, drama students, athletes, and academic stars. Different cultures have different ideas of what is important. The Asian Culture, and yes I know it is not a giant monolith and that there are a lot of difference, tends to place a greater value on academics. Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean families, as well as a lot of others, are willing to send their children to enrichment during the week and on the weekends in a way that European, Hispanic, and Black cultures are not.

The thing is that many of the White, Black, and Hispanic kids who end up with the same degrees and in the same jobs make pretty much the same money. I suspect that more families would place an emphasis on academics if the end result ended up being that the kids that grind academics from ES on make substantially more but they don’t. So why do that to your kid if it is not something that they love?

You don’t need to TJ or three levels of advanced math to go to college and become an engineer/doctor/scientist. TJ has its strengths and works great for the right kind of kid but it is not a guarantee of a better college or career or more money. DS loves math so we support that, he takes math classes and participates in competitions. If he tells us he is done with that, then he’ll be done with that, same as when he said he was done with baseball and basketball. He has this time in his life to explore and find things that he enjoys with no real pressure, I want him to enjoy that.

And yes, he is applying to TJ next year. He has a 4.0, with a foreign language and all AAP classes. He’ll take Geometry next year. He chose camps and the pool over Geometry this summer and I am fine with that.

That's complete nonsense. The process is race blind. The changes were made to address the widespread cheating that had tainted the process.
