Does the amicus brief mention the Asian student suppression from 73% to 54%? Link?

yes, it does. But I cant find the link at the moment. It is signed by 20 state Attorney Generals, that empathically call out and ask the highest court to reject the Asian American suppression at schools across America.

https://www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/23/23-170/280287/20230922163615622_23-170%20Coalition%20for%20TJ%20v.%20FCSB%20-%20Amicus%20Brief%20of%20Virginia%20and%2020%20Other%20States_final.pdf

The whole 1.5% quota idea was invented to reduce the Asian American students being admitted into TJ. This 1.5% notion doesn't hold water because the bottom five FCPS schools scoff at the unsolicited TJ offers being thrown their way, given that their schools provide little to no preparation for success in basic honors classes, let alone coping with the demanding rigor of TJ.

It was well known that "Asian-American applicants are differently situated because they disproportionately attend a handful of gifted centers that have disproportionately high percentages of eligible applicants. These centers draw middle-school students from multiple schools who have scored highly on aptitude tests and offer them advanced classes. The 1.5% set-aside thus “disproportionately forces Asian-American students to compete against more eligible and interested applicants” attending these top gifted centers, rather than competing against all students."

That's complete nonsense. It was invented to allow all students to participate rather than just those at the wealthy schools who invest heavily in prep and test buying to-game admissions. Further, the largest beneficiary of this change was low-income Asian families.

Your response is nonsense. Carson and Rocky Run are not wealthy schools, and Cooper is far wealthier than Longfellow. FCPS incentivized Asian kids to cluster in AAP centers with challenging courses and then pulled the rug out from under them by forcing them to compete with each other for TJ slots and handing out TJ offers to kids at other schools who couldn’t even get into AAP. If it’s not unconstitutional, it’s still discriminatory and pathetic, and the a-hole politicians like Karen Corbett Sanders, Laura Jane Cohen, Elaine Tholen, and Stella Pekarsky who pushed this crap should never hold another elected office in their lives.

"their real agenda: to racially balance the student body at TJ. In the board’s view, TJ had too many Asians, which demanded changes to the admissions process to give school district officials more power to exclude Asian American students, thereby engineering a student body that would be more to their liking. "

What you've cited here is an opinion article written by an individual who has leveraged this story to elevate her national profile and gain speaking appearances on countless conservative outlets, and the chief counsel for the legal entity that is representing them in this crusade.

F, see me after class.

Brainwashed idiots are now assuming pretend teacher role. Mental decline has no limit!

So true before the change 80% of the students came from the same 3 schools where the kids all attended places like Cuire for years to give the illusion of giftedness, but now actual gifted kids from less affluent school are getting in. This drives many of the elitists crazy but it's good that more of the county is able to participate in these programs not just children of the wealthy.

Anti-asian brainwashed morons repeat the same three phrases: Curie, test buying, and wealthy Asians. No different from repetitive barking of annoying street hounds.

This Curie hating fool may never grasp how repeated mentioning of their name actually contributes to the promotion of the Curie brand.

True but those who were able to game admissions by using their privilege are reluctant to cede that advantage.

I'm okay with kids going to Curie for enrichment they might not otherwise get, but I draw the line at it being a golden ticket for TJ admissions. The thing that's great about the new process is the selection is spread out and not constrained to a few wealthy schools.

Weren’t the Curie kids mostly Indian students from Loudoun? The hater just conflates everything they didn’t like about TJ to fit a particular narrative.

Not sure I just remember that over 30% of the incoming class that year had attended Curie.

That's complete nonsense. It was invented to allow all students to participate rather than just those at the wealthy schools who invest heavily in prep and test buying to-game admissions. Further, the largest beneficiary of this change was low-income Asian families.

So true before the change 80% of the students came from the same 3 schools where the kids all attended places like Cuire for years to give the illusion of giftedness, but now actual gifted kids from less affluent school are getting in. This drives many of the elitists crazy but it's good that more of the county is able to participate in these programs not just children of the wealthy.

This Curie hating fool may never grasp how repeated mentioning of their name actually contributes to the promotion of the Curie brand.

Weren’t the Curie kids mostly Indian students from Loudoun? The hater just conflates everything they didn’t like about TJ to fit a particular narrative.

Curie is in both fairfax and loudoun, packed now as well. It's nothing more than advanced math, writing, & science enrichment. Program is challenging and fast paced, probably two grades advanced. Doesnt fit all students, although they give option to step back to grade level. But who survive, do well at TJ, Academies, or base HS. Cost wise its comparable to taking multiple subjects at kumon, cheaper than AoPs, dont have to be a wealthy Asian

Discrimination based on race is unacceptable. It is unconstitutional to prevent a young African American from playing basketball at the county gym simply because there are already other kids with the same skin color inside. Denying admission based on a child''s skin color is a racist act. Similarly, it is both unconstitutional and discriminatory to deny entry to an Asian American student into a public STEM school just because there are already many students enrolled with the same skin color as theirs.
