[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, I remember when Fairfax was governed by centrists.  You know, those who made it into the economic miracle it is today.  Odd to see it being pissed away. [/quote]

You have a weirdly distorted view of the importance of TJHSST.  The county would be better off without the school or those who fetishize it.[/quote]

TJ is apart of what put Fairfax county public schools on the map in public education. Dismantling the flagship school is a terrible idea and all the unintended consequences are sure to follow.[/quote]

Not really. FCPS had a stellar reputation before Jefferson HS was converted to TJHSST. Opening TJHSST simply focused all the attention on a single school rather than on an entire school district. That has proved a mixed blessing.

Just as FCPS functioned for many decades without a TJHSST, it surely could do so again. It might strengthen some of the existing neighborhood schools. And if some Asians only live in the area so their kids have a chance to attend a single high school, the county might be better off without residents with such a singular, narrow-minded focus.

If you understand the concept of discrimination, this will be clear.  Asians have significant barriers in athletics, arts and theater/film, politics, etc.  can you blame them for being narrowly focused on STEM, which is less subjective?  Even the, Asians do not get promoted to management positions and simply are the workhorses of our society that many do not appreciate.  [/quote]
