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

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.

This is a terrible racist stereotyping.

Bingo but a lot of parents liked being able to game the system and don't care about equity.

This is discrimination in the name of equity.

I know and can't grasp why those wokes are bent on a fair and inclusive process! The old system was fine. We could take a few prep classes to guarantee a spot at TJ. Now everyone is getting in even those poors!

Good luck!!

In addition to Mr. Branson, three Virgin Galactic employees will evaluate how the experience will be for future paying customers. They are Beth Moses, the chief astronaut instructor; Colin Bennett, lead operations engineer; and Sirisha Bandla, vice president of government affairs and research operations.

On Sunday’s flight, Ms. Bandla will conduct an experiment from the University of Florida that looks at how plants react to the changing conditions — particularly the swings in gravity — during the flight, part of research that could aid growing food on future long-duration space missions.

Agree the wokes need to stop forcing all this equity and inclusion on the public! We like the old system that favors preppers at the wealthy schools.

Their post is clearly sarcastic but seems fair because it sheds light on the actual issue here. People who want to maintain their privilege over others by clinging to a rigged system. I don't think the changes are perfect but they are an improvement since overall more will benefit than before.
