[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Asra Nomani and her cronies have just lost it. They are making parents contribute 1000s for filing their lawsuits and one would think they would not be able to to survive in this world if their kids did not make it to TJ. Their Telegram group is unbelievable - making me wonder if these parents even work, or their whole day goes in obsessing about TJ. The whole movement initiated by her, her articles, propaganda are so negative.[/quote]

A lot of the TJ parents are here [b]illegally[/b] and put a lot of pressure on the students, that's why it looks so desperate.[/quote]

The anti-TJ, the so called reform group are just racist and ignorant as the anti-immigrant crowd. The school board and Brabrand show their true color by acting on their behalf.[/quote]

It is not a belief of most of the pro-reform crowd that students or parents are here illegally.[/quote]

You don't know that for a fact.  TJ as a school was doing fine. The 'reform' was solely motivated by race. [/quote]

"Motivated by race" and "believe people are here illegally" are two very, very different charges. The reform is motivated by endless research that legitimate diversity in work and education spaces produces stronger and more socially-conscious outputs. Not altogether unlike diversity in a gene pool producing stronger offspring.

Status quo adherents (QuoAnons) believe that the removal of a metric that empirically favors their approach to education at the expense of everyone else - which has created a deeply homogeneous TJ population and has led to severe over-representation at other elite institutions - is racist. The relevant comparison here would be to southern whites in the Jim Crow era arguing that the removal of literacy tests to limit access to the franchise would be somehow "racist against white people". It's not a perfect comparison, because access to elite education is by no means a right in the same way that voting is, but the argument that removing standardized exams is somehow "anti-Asian" is equally absurd. [/quote]

They are rooted in the same racism. You don't realize it on the surface but deep down it's the same thing. You clearly don't have any evidence or  official statistics to substantiate your claim that "A lot of the TJ parents here are illegally". So why did you make that claim? Ask yourself what makes you believe it? Would you make the same claim about a school whose parent body has a different more uniform racial makeup?

The motivation of this 'reform' is all about rebalancing the racial makeup of the school. It has everything to do about race and nothing about academics. The existing admission policy is entirely race neutral. Any student has a shot as long as you put in the work. The new one is not race neutral because it puts a quota on middle schools, in effect controlling the racial makeup.[/quote]
