Can you splain to me how race-blind admissions anti-anything or is this just an excuse that some use to justify opportunity hoarding?

Per school minimum quota is a means of reducing the Asian population, because they are clustered in certain schools.
LCPS went further with Academy of Loudoun admissions by setting a per school maximum quota, taking away all the at large seats as well from Asians.

yes, Asians are entitled to three quarters of the school. If that means no black kids and no latinos then that's ok. Anything else is racism

watching the liberal elites do battle with the other liberal elites over this stuff from my usual sidelines seat: priceless.

The future is apparently no more "meritocracy" at all. AKA we all will be Harrison Bergeron'ed.

Yeah, screw the Black and Latino kids, but if the white kids need more space we can make some sort of adjustment.

They were talking about Loudoun - but still completely off base for the political party seeking to discriminate against Asians and divide people based on race.

If the Republicans put up someone who isn't a pure ideologue or does not disparage special-needs kids, I might consider voting for that person.

You can either have a top-tier STEM magnet school or you can have a school that "looks like Fairfax" and has quotas. You can't have both.

This is still the truest statement in this entire thread.

Decide what you want, but there will be compromises.

They have. Do you think the board doesn’t know what will happen when they change the student pool?

Therefore the title of this thread

Yes it isn't good news. It's great news! I'm glad to see that VA schools are coming into the next century by embracing inclusion.

This is mostly hyperbole. The pool is stronger than ever. A few of the weaker preppers didn't make the cut and were replaced by less wealthy kids who were the most talented in their schools. Seems like they have a lot greater potential than the kids being forced to prep 1234 hours per week by their tiger parents.

Well, you certainly have a fine grasp on the definition of hyperbole.

The point I was trying to make was that it is generally ineffective to accuse someone of hyperbole and then immediately launch into various hyperbolic statements.
