Why is there such a racial/ethnic disconnect with TJ Admissions?

THe school's future will be determined by Fairfax voters and politicians, not the Supreme Court. Asians may dominate at TJ but they do not call the shots politically. If voters at large do not want a magnet that serves primarily Asian kids and deprives other students of what previously had been a perfectly fine neighborhood school, TJHSST will become TJ once again.

I hope they speak up. Most Asian's don't vote and don't play political games. So, if someone can gain enough momentum on this, it may work.

Above post ahows that all the efforts at trying to limit Asians at TJ by whatever means necessary is not enough and now the racist whites show their true colors and want to eliminate the best high school in the country because there are too many Asians at TJ. White boys and girls, try studying a little harder to compete with smart Asians instead of socializing and partying.

I have a bit of a bad news for you. TJ is one of the Virginia Governor's Regional Schools and while fcps may operate it, fcps cannot unilaterally eliminate it even if it wanted to. You should try to find out little bit more about TJ before getting too excited.

Not too excited, don't worry. Anything is possible. You should know that... or do you?

Wrong. FCPS decides on an annual basis whether to continue operating TJ, which it owns and operates, as a Governor's School. If it wishes to do, it must coordinate with the Commonwealth and other participating school districts. However, it can decide unilaterally that it wishes to return TJ to use as a community school.

Thank you for the factual and well-informed response.

I'm Asian and I consider my children would have no problem getting into TJ.
However, I wish that TJ as it currently stands would no longer exist. Right now, the top Asian kids are actually competing against each other (to a very large extent). If they're all assigned to their base schools, we as Asians would have a lot better chance to beat those white racist assholes.

Maybe if your kids attended their base schools, they would learn to excel without thinking the goal is always to beat others.
