Criminal charges for delayed delivery of commendation letters? You have got to be kidding me!

I've been writing for years that "diversity" and "racial equity" are merely euphemisms for reverse discrimination. Denying or disparaging the achievements of others is no way to address the racial imbalance in academic performance.

Offering remedial courses for underachievers is a better idea, but liberals reject that solution because many underachievers have no interest in remedial courses or in genuine learning-- that want distinction as a matter of "right" rather than merit, like participation trophies in children's sports. But education is not a game -- and life awards no participation trophies.

What racial discrimination exists at TJ?

discrimination against high-performing Asian students

You mean the group with the highest representation at the school?

Totally coordinated.

Absolutely disgusting that she - and Youngkin - continue to use these kids as pawns.

Totally agree. 100%

Youngkin is an idiot.

Asra, though, has been an opportunistic profiteer for decades. She should be investigated for a lot more than this, but I think it's a fine place to start. She has never been held accountable for any of her lies, her targeted attacks, her manipulation of anything and everything she can do to paint herself a victim/activist/advocate/whatever she thinks will put her in the best light at any given moment. Truly just not a good person in any way. And a lunatic to boot.

These are not good people.

I guess it is more for formality, as the cutoff is available online if the kids really want to check, and they will definitely do so if it is that important.

It is sad to see this minor mistake blowing out of proportion. TJ lost many good teachers already, I hope this one won't hurt more.

P.S. I personally don't have any problem if the principal is leaving

Good. And yes I am a democrat. If this is true, it is beyond disgraceful. All this participation trophy bull is going to be our undoing.

Withholding PSAT scores from these high achieving students probably cost them college placements & scholarship opportunities.

It is almost as if the administration of TJHS wanted to punish these students for being too successful. I hope the parents of these kids successfully sue the pants off of the Fairfax Public School System.

They already actively prevented highly qualified candidates from being allowed to attend TJ in favor of much less qualified candidates in the name of equity when they changed the admittance policies to reduce the number of Asian & White students that were enrolled for the 2021-22 school year.

I considered allowing my child to apply, but given the Fairfax Public School System' hostility to certain demographics, in general, & Bonataibus' self-proclaimed personal prejudices against the same groups, coupled with the corresponding reduction in the academic standards necessary to facilitate the success of the less qualified student body that was admitted, we determined that it would be most advantageous to my child's academic success to keep them enrolled in their accelerated private school where standards & requirements remain exceedingly high.

I refuse to sacrifice my child's future on the altar of mediocracy & choose to keep them in an environment that rewards hard work & meritocracy.

Really surprised about this. Do you have kids in any high schools in the FFX county? The scores are sent to the kids two months after the test. Really high achieving kids know what are their scores, and most of them won't even put this commended award in their colleague application, as there are only 5 spots available.

Don't spread false information please.

The culture wars get tiring and meanwhile the things that matter to the majority of people without kids at TJ get ignored.

Yes, democrats making changes to admission to ensure that all residents have equal and fair access not just those willing to spend $20k on outside enrichment. Youngkin is just doing more of the usual GOP grandstanding to rile up his crazy base, but it will have 0 impact.

Totally agree too that the Governor should be recalled for wasting tax payer funds on this goose chase.

Agree. It doesn't make sense why the College Board doesn't just electronically notify the kids directly.

Not relevant to this discussion.

I'd say that's pretty relevant. If they had electronically notified everyone instead of depending on letters to get through snail mail and school officials this wouldn't be a problem at all.
