Exactly. The Supreme Court has a definite appetite for putting a hurt on affirmative action, but this isn’t really an affirmative action case in the same sense as Harvard or UNC.

Their legitimacy is very questionable already.

These suits are mostly laughable. Even the extremists on SCOTUS would be hard-pressed to support this level of nonsese.

Right.

Unfortunately, it will be 6 - 2 when it comes to affirmative action cases.

The Supreme Court is unlikely to take the TJ academic because the policy itself is only problematic when compared to what existed previously.

The abhorrent behavior of the School Board and the eventual admissions policy are two completely separate questions.

Nah. SCOTUS should settle this affirmative action in public k-12 once and for all.

Except this has nothing to do with affirmative action.

Well then, you got nothing to worry about.

Correct, and this has been known for quite some time to all but a small number of posters on this board.

You can slice it or dice it how ever you want but increasing number of black/Hispanic students by giving them preferential points at the expense of Asian students sounds like an affirmative action to me.

That’s s different topic. And it’s far from clear what will happen. I could easily see a 4-4 tie with Roberts and Barrett joining the Dems, thus effectively upholding Harvard’s policy.

Nah. Asian will have a seat on the SCT before that happens.

A Biden nominee? That would be a firm vote in favor of affirnatove action. But back to the topic at hand: the FCPS policy will live on. And on. And on.

More Asian students received preferential points than Black or Hispanic students. It just wasn't the Asian students who come from families that are claiming anti-Asian racism.

I saw that as well, but the people rasing the fuss could care less. They're only interested in themselves.

I do wonder if part of this might be due to the “free meals for all” loophole last year and this year. Because every child is entitled to free meals and given the poor wording the admissions staff used for the screening questions, technically any parent could select yes to both questions.

Many parents did not know this or did not feel comfortable selecting “Yes” when the intent behind the question (if not the actual poor wording by the admissions office) was to find poor students. However, as some have said on other threads, prep companies clued in their families to the loophole.

And from the TJ papers, we know that the free meals questions translates into 90 “experience” points. This bump is HUGE and 1/2 -1/3 of the students who selected yes were offered admission.

Someone has fallen in love with the copy and paste button… as long as we’re talking about people who can’t think for themselves.

Seems like the job to get is that of Diversity officer!

Top diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) employees at major public universities earn massive six-figure salaries for leading initiatives that some experts found to be ineffective and instead enforce a "political orthodoxy."


A review of salary data shows that the universities of Michigan, Maryland, Virginia and Illinois, plus Virginia Tech, boast some of the highest-paid DEI staffers at public universities, a Fox News review found. These institutions' top diversity employees earn salaries ranging from $329,000 to $430,000 – vastly eclipsing the average pay for the schools' full-time tenured professors.

Four of the colleges justified the DEI leaders' salaries, citing the executives' seniority and the importance of their responsibilities. The University of Illinois did not return a request for comment.

Experts identified these universities as having some of the most bloated DEI staff in the country and said they each rack up millions in costs each year.

Asians are shut out from lot of rackets.

We need an outreach officer to go out and recruit for Asian Diversity and Inclusion officer for Fairfax County.

And this Outreach Officer should be given booster points for applying for a position at a known hostile and unwelcoming place of employment.

Or the new admissions process helped poor Asian students. Introducing a non-falsifiable claim to try to muddy the situation to advance a narrative is gross.

The TJ admissions office has confirmed that any family can check yes this year.

Please call/email them and ask if you like.

Doesn't matter. You have no idea how many families actually did this, and the suggestion that Asian families would try to do this introduces a really problematic narrative.
