[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Virginia judge finds that the new admission policies at TJ high school are discriminatory. MCPS adopted the similar policies. Time to sue MCPS.

It's likely this will be overturned shortly.[/quote]
It probably won’t because the central issue is a finding of fact that the school Board were open and clear about wanting to reduce Asian enrollment while increasing Black and Hispanic enrollment.

First, because the ruling is based on a finding of fact, it would require FCPS to obtain De Novo review up appeal which is unlikely.

Second, the finding of law is very straight forward and so would be the remedy. FCPS doesn’t have to be concerned about outcomes that disparately affect Asian students but they are required to have a race neutral process. As a result, the court would allow them to redesign their entrance policies so long as they can be facially neutral, meaning that they just cannot say openly that it is for this specific outcome that targets race.
