Has the Coalition for TJ (or any other groups) considered another lawsuit?

The Supreme Court already elected not to hear the case that was brought by C4TJ. That case has already been litigated. What exactly do you think is going to happen?

Do you think Secretary Guidera is going to somehow dictate to FCPS what their admissions process is going to look like? Do you think that will take effect for this cycle? Do you understand that there will be elections in Virginia - where Republicans will get CRUSHED because of Trump - coming up in just nine months?

Exactly. So you can keep bringing cases until they hear the case.

Secretary gifts can withhold funding to FCPS. FCPS received over $150 million in federal funding last year. That's only like 5% of the budget but the budget is already very very tight.

FCPS also receives state funding. Perhaps VA Governor might be preparing an anti-DEI gift?

That's a much bigger number.

So no more Black history month?

No more Women In Science and Engineeering?

No more Young Scholars?

LOL

So you prefer show over substance. Instead of tackling problems with real solutions, you want to make a show of helping people.

This is precisely what liberals have done. Rename schools, remove testing from admissions, promote "intersectionality", "microagressions" and other such nonsense.

How is Young Scholars not a real solution?

I think we are at the point where things are so bad people are willing to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

They are prepared to deal with the consequences of cutting away healthy tissue to make sure all the cancer is gone.

MAGAs are so vile for dragging our kids into their misguided plan to destroy everything.

WTF is wrong with them?

I thought we are in a dictatorship. Come on, we are under a facist right? So why do you think we would have elections anymore?

I absolutely think that federal elections in 2026 will be on the chopping block if the Trump team can find any way to do it.

But I don’t think he gives two shnits about VA state elections.

That will result in Virginia Republicans getting crushed even worse in 2025. Would be the dumbest play off all time and wouldn’t take effect quickly enough to make a difference before they get slaughtered.

You’re out of your element, Donny.

What difference does it make? We are going to be a dictatorship in 2026 anyway.

Giving bonus "experience" points to students who are ELLs is a form of discrimination against students who are born in the United States and therefore are most likely to speak English. Equating speaking a foreign language has been used in lawsuits before to show discrimination based on national origin.

A student with a perfect score of 900 on the TJ admissions scoresheet can't compete with a student who scored 871, but received 30 bonus points due to ELL status. This is 100% discrimination against students with United States as their national origin.

Their lawsuit was laughed out of court. I'm not sure why you think this one would be any different.

The last thing that Trump, Youngkin, and the MAGAs want is a meritocracy. Get real.

It looks like the Dept of Ed might make the litigation unnecessary.

Discrimination based on a student's skin color is unacceptable. Every student, regardless of how rich or poor, should be recognized for their individual efforts and their own dedication. It is unfair to give rewards solely based on skin color, especially when it overlooks the hard work of one poor kid over another poor kid who does not. Merit should be the key factor in recognizing a student's accomplishments, even among students of same skin color. America was founded on the principle of rewarding hard work of individuals, not on skin color.
