[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TJ should be closed and let the money be spent on improving lower income schools.[/quote]

How do you bigots live with yourselves?[/quote]

DP.  What?  There are lots of Asian kids of lower income schools. I don't have a problem with TJ staying open, but I have a problem with the total pushback from current beneficiaries to any change that might bring in a broader group of kids.  What do you think happens to the thousands of high performing kids who were rejected by TJ each year under the old system?  I'm guessing most of them ended up at an equal or better school than if they had gone to TJ.  The kids rejected under the new system will also do well.  [/quote]

+1 FCPS is one of the best school systems in the country. It’s not like the TJ is the end all be all. In fact, it’s become more difficult to get into top universities as a TJ student so it’s more of a detriment if that is the ultimate goal you have for your children.

Honestly, people who are against any change to the admissions process are just racist and classist and don’t want their kids to go to school with poor kids or Black and brown kids. They’re not fooling anyone.[/quote] And I think that people who pay any attention to race during the admission process are racists.[/quote]

DP.  So you're admitting you're racist then?  The admissions standards are race neutral and your only concern is whether the number of Asian kids will be impacted.  [/quote] No. I want the government and everybody else to stop grouping/dividing people by races. I don’t want to know how many students of each color any school has. [/quote]
