No way the Supreme Court takes this stupid case. [/quote]

This![/quote]

Well I think the SC is taking the question of whether they can do the admissions policy for this year while they sort out the whole thing through the courts, right?[/quote]

Wednesday is April 13.  It's way too late already, despite what the dissent said.  Maybe they are on to next year's incoming class?[/quote]

They can do a lottery very quickly. If they really want to tweak coalition for TJ, they can automatically enter every rising freshman in the county and create a waitlist for those who decline. [/quote]

Keep dreaming.[/quote]

my dream would be for them to just close the school [/quote]

That's obvious, hon.

Sorry.[/quote]

It gets closer every day. A school that becomes a right wing darling reliant on a very left wing school board is not long for this world. [/quote]

Makes me sad, but here we are. [/quote]

DP, but I would rather have them close the school than see FCPS spend so much time, money, and attention litigation over the composition of a single high school.

It's obscene that FCPS has over 200 schools and one school commands so much focus because the School Board was so clumsy and inartful when it decided to change the admissions process.  Enough already. [/quote]

They could have chosen to done things differently. Instead of implementing racist policies, they could have responded with more outreach and educational resources at schools that serve URM student population. Instead by went full racist, completely unbashful about their intentions, unreceptive to feedback and criticism from parents. They chose to make this into a big issue because they wanted the glory of remaking what is the top high school in the entire United States. They wanted that badge of honor on their progressive resume, a crowning achievement of performative intersectional justice for diversity, equity, and inclusion. It's no surprise then that they dedicated their resources towards this cause. The level of effort they have expended to defend their racist practice shows you just how much they have invested in this endeavor.

No one asked the school board to be racist. They just couldn't help it.  They decided to do this themselves, with no one else to blame. [/quote]

I agree with you but it does reach a point where it's time to just put an end to the bickering.  Let TJ return to use as a neighborhood school or have it serve as a full-time Academy program offering specialized, challenging courses available only at TJ to students who attend their base schools for their other classes, but both sides need to realize how they are degrading FCPS by allowing so much attention to be focused on a single school to the exclusion of other schools.

The Coalition for TJ and the TJAAG are both full of preening narcissists equally wedded to their own visions of what TJ should be (and completely disinterested in the other 97% of FCPS kids).  And this ridiculous, utterly incompetent School Board that set the stage for this to happen needs to be sent packing next year - every last one of them. [/quote]
