The number of Asian students enrolled at TJ has [u]not[/u] decreased.

If you look at the four years before the admissions change and the four years after, there are on average MORE Asian students at TJ today.

It wasn't about [u]reducing[/u] the number of Asian students; it was about [u]adding[/u] others. It wasn't zero sum - they added seats to open up access to kids from across the county. There are just as many Asian students there today as there were before.

NO DISCRIMINATION.

PP, your premise (in all caps) of "no discrimination" is based solely on raw numbers.

Your argument disregards the following Wiki section from the original post, above:  " In 2020, the school board made a number of significant changes to the admissions process. . . Following these changes, the proportion of black and Hispanic students admitted increased from 4.52% to 18.36% while the proportion of Asian Americans decreased from 73.05% to 54.36%.[29]  "

In either case, other recent posts here suggest the advocacy group mentioned in the Wiki entry, (Coalition for TJ), may lodge another challenge to the 2020 admissions changes.  However, that is speculative, and beyond the scope of the original poster's thread.  [/quote]
