[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TJ sacrificed on the alter of "equity".[/quote] not sacrificed. it was a pork handout to upper middle class. it is way overdue to be closed and turned back to a regular neighborhood school.[/quote] This is such a pitiful mentality. You should be thrilled that VA has some of the best public and private institutions in the country (HS and College). What is it about excellence that is so threatening to you? The way to make more winners is to have less losers; why don't you push for better teachers, resources, and hihgher standards during primary school years. I agree, the admissions need to change, but stop trying to drag people down. The goal should always be to create spaces for BETTER education. Jeez, at this rate will be one of those districts where school is only 4-days a week. [/quote] Why on earth should I care about TJ? If TJ were to close tomorrow is would have zero effect on me or anyone I know. It has nothing to do with me or my family and it’s URM numbers are an embarrassment.[/quote] It's URM numbers are an embarrassment because the performance metrics of the average URM applicant are an embarrassment. Fix that by supporting and providing programs to URM throughout elementary, and URM numbers will be less of an embarrassment. [/quote] On top of this, barring fixing the above problem (an insurmountable task for FCPS, who doesn't even have the guts to admit that URMs are doing very poorly in their beloved school system), Whites will become the prime beneficiaries of this Equity for All movement. Soccer moms are already chomping at the bit as we speak, salivating for the day where brawn will rule the roost from the gates of TJ.[/quote] This is a figment of your imagination. [/quote] DP. It is absolutely true that this will benefit white applicants. My guess would be mostly to the benefit of white female applicants. It was never the goal to actually help URM but making those (false) claims is what is going to get people to move. Anyone that cares to pay attention knows this will not help URM. But URM are being scapegoated and help up for scorn as a distraction while this underhanded way to get more white applicants in takes place. Just take a look at the other thread here on Asians to see all the anti-black and racist rhetoric because Asian percentages will be reduced. [/quote] True. The anti-Black racism coming from the Asian community is discusting. Blacks fought so they could come here and supported them upon arrival. Fairfax is not going to do what Is happening in Loudoun unless some parents or outside forces get more involved. The NAACP in Fairfax have proved time and time again to be run by bootlicks that care about making white mommy and daddy happy more than addressing the mistreatment of Blacks in Fairfax County. Maybe the Hispanic community has some riders, but the NAACP won’t get involved like they did in Loudoun [/quote]
