Yeah, kinda hard to believe that when we just had Fairfax County go on a crusade to target Thomas Jefferson HS on "diversity, equity, and inclusion" grounds for having too many Asians.

It is one thing to say "nobody should be excluded," which is an idea pretty much everyone would support.

When you insist the system has to be gamed to make sure certain groups are advanced, regardless of the actual merit of the individuals in question is when you get into trouble.... and that is what the entire modern D&I effort is about.

Yea, it’s interesting that the effort to improve diversity at TJ didn’t focus on improving stem education at the younger grades for disadvantaged kids.  It’s admittedly harder to do than gaming the admissions process, but that would have been a truly equitable solution. [/quote]

Shoot, if they were really worried that there were a bunch of qualified students who weren't getting admitted, they could always have created another magnet HS.

Think about how much the population in this region has grown since the creation of TJ, why not make another? Why not make two more?

[b]Because of course getting more qualified kids in wasn't the problem.  [/b]

If they went from one school to three they would just have gone from one problem to three.  Three problems where the race of the students doesn't match the answer they have determined to be correct.
