Northam’s “Anti-Asian, Anti-Immigrant” School Initiative

[Anonymous]

Anonymous wrote:"More than 1,500 parents, students and alumni of the prestigious Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology have petitioned Governor Ralph Northam to halt the “secretive and bigoted, anti-Asian, anti-immigrant effort” to substitute race-based admissions for the meritocratic admissions criteria now in place.

"The petitioners accuse Secretary of Education Atif Qarni of using Thomas Jefferson and other elite Governor’s schools around the state as a “Petri dish for experiments in social engineering.” They share the goal of increasing the number of black, Hispanic and economically disadvantaged students at “TJ,” as the Fairfax-based science and technology school is known, but not through the use of “short-sighted race-based solutions.”

The obvious solution of course is to close all of these schools

“Cultural silos” (whatever that means) can be allowed
We don’t “need” diversity for innovation; we need best & brightest for innovation

That means lots of Asian & Indian students.

Corporate America vehemently disagrees with you.

Innovation requires a lot of skill sets and perspectives, not just kids who are really good at memorizing things in cram schools.

Corporate America might vehemently disagree, yet if you look at who is sitting behind the tables in the engineering labs, you don't see the same faces that you do in the media.

Racist, xenophobe.

Young Asian and Indian kids are bright, resilient and deal with racist, xenophobes like the pp in their daily lives while still becoming successful adults.

Way more skills than the whiny, demanding, victim playing woke crowd. I’ll take their skills over the latter.

Engineering and innovation are not synonymous, dummy

A new method, idea or product. Sounds what people in the tech world do.

Dummy!! Such a silly word for such a serious post. Enough with the name calling. It just devalues your bright, thorough, well elaborated argument.

I just hope that whatever they implement doesn't try to replicate the demographics of the county. Don't take away qualified Asians like universities do. Take away qualified white kids, they have plenty of other opportunities that the rest of our children won't.

Ok. So let’s say the highest performing students are not allowed in the most academic schools. And instead our most creative students are allowed in our most academic schools: what happens? They perform poorly in their classes. That’s my guess.

Why push creative students to be highly academic? Why not allow creative students to be creative? They should be filling our art schools, or theatre and music schools. They should be pursuing liberal arts education, which is VERY important field of study.

We need engineers and doctors and economists. The fact that many of them are Indian and Asian shouldn’t bother people.

See, you can't be racist against Asians but it's perfectly fine to be racist against whitey.

You woke leftist disgust me.

Creative and academic are not opposites. You also don't know the definition of liberal arts.

You're saying creative people can't be bookish!
