[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, [b]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.[/b] 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]

Nice try.  This did not happen.  Don't lie. [/quote]

It 100% did happen. Why do you think it didn't?[/quote]

Because I was at the last 3 out of 4 of those sessions and this did not happen. [/quote]
