[quote=Anonymous]My recollection is that the action in state court was focused on an alleged failure to comply with state-law requirements relating to Governor's Schools.  The new case alleges an equal protection violation under the U. S. Constitution.  The underlying facts may not have changed but the alleged violations are totally different.  And just because a circuit court judge in Fairfax concludes a particular exam didn't have to be administered doesn't mean a district court judge in Alexandria may not conclude there was discriminatory intent (against Asian students) in revising the admissions process.

And, regardless of how this case is decided at the district court level, given the nature of the claims there is a good chance of appeal to the 4th Circuit and then perhaps even the Supreme Court.  At a minimum, FCPS will have to pay for briefs to be prepared at every stage of the litigation; if the plaintiffs are allowed to conduct discovery, that will cost even more money to defend.  I hope Brabrand and the School Board knew they were inviting this when they revamped TJ admissions to make a few local advocacy groups happy.  [/quote]
