[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not everyone belongs to TJ, those who don’t and get pushed in simply suffer, whether they are pushed in by overzealous parents or overzealous politicians.  A differential equation doesn’t care what color of skin you have.  Either  you can solve it or you can’t. [/quote]

You don't need to take differential equations in high school to succeed as a STEM major in college.  TJ's goal should be to prepare high school kids for succeeding in STEM majors in college, not to make high school into college.  I think that focus on making high school more like college instead of preparing kids to succeed in college is where TJ has gone off track and so is failing all except a small segment of the FCPS student body.  Those who want a simulated college experience in high school should pay to have that privately and should not be able to use a public school for that purpose to the detriment of others.  [/quote]

Actually that’s not true.  Public schools are required by law to identify talented kids and support them With their special education needs.  Talented programs are a part of special education, just the same as Special education provided to autism kids or blind kids.  You don’t tell them if you’re blind you should pay to get your own education.  You also don’t take a look at  autism program and check if their skin colors are representative of the population.

TJ needs changes for sure. Diversity benefits everyone.  But the reason shouldn’t be there are too many damn Asians.  That reason alone is racism. And if the solution is only targeted to reduce Asian admission, not caring about the real underlying problem,  then that solution is fueled by pure racism mentality too [/quote]
