You mean the one selected specifically because she has dark skin?

lol. Please remember she went to Ivy schools in the days when Affirmative Action and racial quotas were still legal so not a great example.

Did she benefit from affirmative action?

Totally agree that the class of 2025 is set. However, very worried about the class of 2026.

The order prohibits FCPS from using the admissions system developed during the Fall of 2020. If I understand correctly, while they can’t use the 2020 system, they CAN use another system, such as a lottery.

I think a lottery is a certainty for 2026.

They try to pull a stunt like that, they are likely to be spanked much harder.

They would be put in jail for contempt of court.

Do you think typhoid Amy wasn't selected because she had female parts? You can be selected and qualify.

Lotter is best bet and not illegal and nothing anyone can do about it. Should always be a random lottery. Problem solved!

Here’s another idea: equal access to prep programs.

While I agree in the spirit of, FCPS should provide prep programs (especially at middle schools that don't traditionally have a lot of kids accepted into TJ) "equal access" is going to be hard to truly achieve.

Throwing out TJ, just thinking about regular grades - it's not *fair* that some kids' parents can pay for them to get a tutor when they fall behind in class, and other kids have to babysit their siblings in the evenings and have no time to study. But what can the school do to fix that beyond banning out-of-school tutoring, and how would that be constitutional?

I know. Asian kids have too much to do - baby sitting and studying. I don't know how they do it.

I’m assuming that the silence means that FCPS is not changing anything for the class of 2026. They will reevaluate for the class of 2027.

Then they better get ready to do some time. Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the the time.

Nope. Sucks for the applicants.

They could just have a lost year. No 2026.

So, the class action lawsuit will have not just applicants rejected last year but the entire group of applicants for this year. Make those racist idiots homeless. All of them.
