She completely went off the rails, IMO. Honestly, of everything coming across the desk of someone in student services, this is SO, SO low on the priority list. It actually pisses me off to think of the valuable time wasted across the county to “investigate” this clerical error.

But it's not a clerical error. The emails make it clear that the notices were withheld to protect the feelings of the students who didn't get it. And now three schools are involved - same story. Think that is coincidence? Of course it isn't:

"We’re all supposed to believe that three Fairfax schools had the exact same screw-up where all the different principals did their part, but the staff messed up and didn't give that to the students?" one mom said.

A Richmond law firm is conducting an independent review looking to find exactly what happened and how it took place. The Virginia attorney general is also investigating all Fairfax County Public Schools.

I'm glad the AG is doing a county-wide sweep. You TJ apologists can keep yelling that it's a commendation only or a clerical error but the fact is that the Virginia Human Rights statute may have been violated - this will be especially so if it turns out that the students who should have received the notification are asians and the ones "protected" from the knowledge are not.

What the e-mails make clear is that the Director of Student Services told the parent that that's why the letters were withheld. The school's principal signed them and put them on his desk within 48 hours of having received them - you don't do that if your school's policy is going to be to somehow decide to withhold them.

They sat on his desk for nearly a month, and then all of a sudden they were distributed a week BEFORE any of this stuff came to light. It's not like someone complained and THEN he distributed them - indeed, if he had never done it, this may have never become a story.

Based on that chain of events, I don't know how you come to any other conclusion than that he forgot to do it, and then realized they were still undistributed and got them out. Ms. Yashar's readout of the phone call suggests strongly to me that he was scrambling for a reason why they went unsent for a month - and that's where he gets caught up trying to save his rear end with the "equity" and "feelings" crap when all he had to do was apologize. When I say "he lied to her", that's what I mean, and I don't think it's honestly up for discussion at this point.

No it really isn't up for discussion but the rabid C4TJ crew will keep trying to make it into a conspiracy because they feel this will help their cause of turning into an elitist program for wealthy prepsters.

The stay-at-home Karens are the ones going after Asian kids and created this mess. They didn't help anybody else but their own mediocre offspring.

Hate to break it to you, but nobody is “going after Asian kids”. Certainly, the delay handing out certificates has nothing to do with “going after Asian kids”.

You’ll have to find a new excuse to push your politics.
