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,[b] they could have responded with more outreach and educational resources at schools that serve URM student population[/b]. 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]

FCPS already does this and does it well.  You don't even know.  Just attack attack attack.  [/quote]

Apparently it's not enough since black and latino students are severely under represented in TJ, that's the point. I know the work of educating kids is hard, but that's not an excuse to engage in racist policies. [/quote]

Very strange post.  You seem to agree that the numbers of Black and Latino students are very low at TJ but then you call efforts to address this "racist".  I'm not sure what you're trying to argue.  Just everything?[/quote]

Not sure what you find strange. Efforts to address the achievement of black and Latino students are needed, but they cannot be based on racist policies. Or are you arguing that the only way we can help black and Latino students is to rely on racist discrimination aginst Asians? 
[/quote]

Numerically, any increase in admitted Black and Latino students will result in fewer admitted Asian students.  They increased the class size so that the decrease was offset somewhat.

You're saying that any change in numbers will be racist.  That's very strange.[/quote]

Again, as has been said numerous times in this thread, disparate impact alone is not an issue. Without racist intent or explicitly racist policies, a new admission policy that resulted in lower Asian students would not have been challenged on racist grounds. [/quote]
