Advanced Academic Programs (AAP)
Considering there is some evidence of crimes being committed and it's also extremely informative on efficacy of tax policy, that was money and time well spent in the interest of the public good. This? Not so much. |

Equity is Socialism.
These school administrators and teachers who participated in the scheme to deprive students of their accomplishments are guilty of a criminal offense. These awards have monetary value and to withhold them is theft. I hope they are prosecuted. |
+1 Plus a 2 week delay in handing out a certificate as a formality (kids already knew if they were commended) is in no way equivalent to a POTUS defiantly refusing to be transparent about finances for years. False equivalence. |

When I was in high school, I tried out for a newly formed swim team. Anybody who wanted to, was allowed. I couldn't even swim the length of the pool once!
I had an equal opportunity but I didn't experience an equal outcome. So was I discriminated against? You bet I was, but that "discrimination" was based on outcome, NOT bigotry. Maybe I'll try out for commercial airline pilot next. |
LOL what? The awards themselves don’t have monetary value. At most, they make you eligible for a scholarship — but you’re eligible whether you receive the physical letter on time or not. |
Relevant if the discussion is how can we simplify the process IF many admins have issues with it. That’s not the discussion here. |

As a progressive, I have always wanted everyone to have equal opportunities but not equal outcomes.
Every game should start 0-0 and both sides playing by same rules then you know the outcome was truly earned. This is just someone in power enforcing their views on everyone else. |

I don't understand how people defend someone who didn't do her job in a timely manner.
Do you people even work a day in your life? |
m It’s like this: your kid doesn’t do a time sensitive but very easy task that you asked him to do and which has to be done annually. In fact, he hasn’t done it in years. When confronted about it, he tries to talk to you about how you could improve some things instead of focusing on what he did wrong. Two totally different issues. |
I guess Asra has enough of a public profile that Jeff won't care if people attack her personally here, but I will say that I don't consider the folks in control of the TJAAG, the FCDC, or the FCPS School Board to be good people. For the most part, they are conniving politicians who are hypocritical at the core. They blather on about "equity," but it's really just an excuse for old-school, pork-barrel politics intended to benefit them politically at the expense of hardworking Asian families and students. If they cared about merit, they wouldn't have taken deliberate steps to reduce the number of Asian kids at TJ; if they cared about equity, they would be working fervently to shut down the selective magnet at TJ. But they do not care about either merit or equity, just about throwing their political weight around to "redefine" merit and equity on their own, self-serving terms. There's never been a bigger group of narcissists involved in local issues in Fairfax, and I hope they get the sh*t kicked out of them at the polls this fall. |

“Equal outcomes for every student without exception” is an impossible goal. Some are smarter, some more athletic, some artistic, some work harder.
That was a terrible thing to do to the students who earned their award. |
Is that why you et al keep posting these inane threads? |
You are not a "progressive" any longer in their book, and equal opportunity is no longer the goal. The end game for these people is the redistribution of opportunity, resources, and private property based on race and income, all in the name of "equity." |
You sound worried. You should be. |
That’s cute. You’re projecting. You saw Rs get crushed in November so now you’re resorting to extreme hysterics over stupid crap. You’re hurting the TJ community for nothing. |
