[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a white mother of a Kilmer student from several years ago - DS currently attends Marshall HS.

When DS was in 8th grade, I went to the TJ information session in September. I got a lot of good information from the presenters there and was considering encouraging DS to apply, even though he was reticent.

When they opened the floor for Q&A, one of DS's friends' fathers stood up and accused the admissions people of using affirmative action because the previous year's incoming class was [i]only[/i] 75% Asian. I watched several parents, including friends of mine, nod in agreement. Horrifying. Thankfully the admissions people tamped it down.

That father's kid is currently at TJ. I decided to follow my son's wishes and not have him apply after I heard that comment and the stunning amount of approval it got. [/quote]

You are the kind of person who sees no problem wit 90% blacks for basketball and football teams. [/quote]

OMG, this nonsense again. The point of TJ is not to win anything, it's to serve Northern Virginia and the STEM community by delivering a quality STEM-focused education to students interested in possibly pursuing those fields.

Someone is REALLY butthurt that no one cares about what their kid does.[/quote]

The point is not many Asians are obsessed with basketball or football and not many blacks are obsessed with studying and pursuing stem fields. [/quote]
