[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sad.  [b]Very sad that TJ admissions have become so political[/b].  I hope they take up the offer from that professor to make an "unpreppable test" that we keep hearing about and figure out how to fix the AAP process to identify URMs earlier and give them an honest chance to compete for admission to TJ.

Yes - it is sad, but you have to ask:

- which party politicized it?

The entire school board and Brabrand are democrats.

- why do people vote against their children’s best interests by voting for democrats?  And before someone attacks republicans here, let school boards were balanced or even majority R; yet the republicans never proposed anything as radical as what the current entrenched Dem school board has actually done.

So looking forward to change under Youngkin![/quote]

We have to have a more politically diverse group of School Board members.

The 12-0 Democratic School Board of the past two years has been the largest disaster in recent FCPS history.  It's not that these people never disagree with each other; they do, sometimes vociferously, and ridicule each other in their text messages and emails, as revealed by the discovery in this case.  The problem is that they believe that publicly they have to toe the same party line and speak with an almost uniform voice.  They operate in constant fear of being called out as "on the wrong side of history" by their political patrons.

That is a recipe for disaster, and we see the poor results time after time with this School Board.  [/quote]
