Lottery not compatible with entire premise of governor's school.

Has FCPS announced if they will appeal?

The FCPS TJ admissions website still has the process on their website. I don’t think anything is changing for the class of 2026 folks.

So, the class action lawsuit will have not just applicants rejected last year but the entire group of applicants for this year. Make those racist idiots homeless. All of them.

They would be following the judge's order. Too late to begin a new process.

They would not be homeless, you would just bankrupt FCPS. They can't be sued in their individual capacities. You would be suing the board as it pertains to FCPS.

Make fcps bankrupt, they are already morally bankrupt.

Here’s another idea: equal access to prep programs.

While I agree in the spirit of, FCPS should provide prep programs (especially at middle schools that don't traditionally have a lot of kids accepted into TJ) "equal access" is going to be hard to truly achieve.

Throwing out TJ, just thinking about regular grades - it's not *fair* that some kids' parents can pay for them to get a tutor when they fall behind in class, and other kids have to babysit their siblings in the evenings and have no time to study. But what can the school do to fix that beyond banning out-of-school tutoring, and how would that be constitutional?

I know. Asian kids have too much to do - baby sitting and studying. I don't know how they do it.

They don't. Due to draconian child policy, babysitting is practically nonexistent.

We are talking about Asian Americans. Hard to believe but they do exist.

And we’re back to the astroturf goal of defunding public schools.

Predictable.

Well when the school board and fcps public school system administration looses moral legitimacy by explictly behaving as racists and discriminatingly treated people as racially too toxic to be admitted to a county-wide school, and defending that practice even after a court finds that behavior unconstitutional and orders them to stop, what do you expect the public should want to have take place? To continue supporting and paying for that? Of course people are extremely angry, especially those who were racially classified as unwanted, at this policy - to gaslight them and "we're back to astroturf" is to support this despicable policy and be part of this racist behavior

You mean the one selected specifically because she has dark skin?

Do you think typhoid Amy wasn't selected because she had female parts? You can be selected and qualify.

She was selected because she had already been vetted when they were filling the seat now filled by Kavanaugh and there was no time to look any further.

Everyone already has equal access... unless you mean the government should pay for prep programs, which I guess is a possibility but it wouldn't be equal since driven parents/students will then get even more prep on their own. You can also make prep programs illegal, which would certainly mean "equal access", but devolving into dictatorial authoritarianism is generally not a good thing for a liberal society.

Maybe PP is so aroused by the prospect of implementing draconian child policies on Asian Americans that the fantasy became reality in her mind momentarily.

So true. When the entire leadership of one of the richest and the largest school district is openly racist against a minority group and laughing about it what do you expect from the parents in such school district? Fine role models.

Department of Justice should investigate for violations of civil rights and criminally charge appropriate individuals to rot in prison for decades.
