Why don't people want to go to tj just because there are "too many" asians?

I’m sure your snowflake would have been fine at her base school, but props for loading your post up with all the typical code language about TJ kids (“nice, fun-loving, talented”) that invariably implies such qualities can’t be found elsewhere.

It will be a glorious day when we finally do away with this deeply racist magnet school.

TJ is a public school with students carefully picked for admission. Therefore it should be more representative of Fairfax county demographics. It’s not that white kids don’t apply and are not qualified. It’s that the selection committee has a social engineering goal. It’s not like they hide this attitude. We interviewed at TJ and the racist things they said were outrageous.

There are definitely racist Asian families in NoVa. We had Indian neighbors who told us point blank they wouldn't send their kids to our neighborhood high school, which our kids were attending at the time, because they didn't like "the look" of the kids (who happened to be mostly black and Hispanic) walking to the school in the morning. Their son got into TJ; when their daughter didn't get in, they sent her to private instead.

I have no idea why a county that supposedly cares about equity and "One Fairfax" would cater to such people. It is simply appalling.

Not sure what this means. There is no interview component of the TJ admissions process.

lol
The racist anti-TJ liar was firing in all cylinders again, fabricating all the little anecdotes she’s “observed “.

That's ONE FAMILY. Your argument is based on the racist attitudes of ONE FAMILY. I could give you an anecdote about one racist white family or one racist black family, etc., but what would be the point? This discussion is pointless.

Like what? Otherwise the post is worthless. P.S. They don't interview prospective students at TJ.

Why don't you ask PP to clarify what was meant by "interviewed"?

It's funny how anecdotes about racist Asians are dismissed but anecdotes about how kind and wonderful TJ students are can't be repeated enough times for those who refuse to acknowledge there is anything about TJ that deserves careful scrutiny, whether it's the school's culture, its non-representative demographics, or its impact on other FCPS students.

If FCPS cares about equity, it will put TJ under a microscope. If it doesn't, the current School Board will be held to account for its glaring hypocrisy.

How appalling! How dare they spend their hard-earned money on their child's education!

Get a life dude.. Rich people and UMC send their kids to Private schools ALL the time. Why do you think that is? They don't like the "look" of your kids either and don't want their kids rubbing shoulders with them. How come none of you morons are complaining about that?

I'm assuming you don't live in a "hot" neighborhood based on the description of your High school district so the "Indians" who lived next door are likely middle class or whatever class you belong to. If they saved enough to be able to send their kid to a private, shouldn't you be appreciating that? Shouldn't you be following their lead in terms of prioritizing education? I bet you are only complaining because they are Indian.

If this trend continues, the next thing people like you will want is for everyone to get permission from you before they spend their hard-earned money. Welcome to Russia!

LOL. Welcome to dystopian America! We ARE headed that way..

We've had separate but equal education in the US under segragation.

I don't understand why there is not more of an emphasis
on getting local African American children who qualify for enrollment to get them enrolled rather than operating an elite high school on taxpayer dime that educates Spaniards from Spain and dark skinned students from Africa who come from elite families in their native lands.

?? All I wanted to know is what "racist" things were said in this alleged interview. Not a peep though.
