[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sure, if you say so.

I hope you will read the news involving hate and harassment if Asian Americans and try a bit harder to watch your language.  Pro tip— if you call a space with lots of Asian Americans toxic, you’re on the wrong path.[/quote]

DP.  I think the Greek system in college is toxic.  I would discourage my kids from rushing.  Am I anti-white because the vast majority of students in the Greek system are white?  I don't think so. People think the TJ environment is toxic, not because it's predominantly Asian, but because it's become more of a cutthroat environment over the years.  The cutthroat environment isn't because the kids are Asian, it's because the admissions standards and FCPS's quest to make it the number one school in the country promotes a cutthroat environment.  Are we really not allowed to call out an environment as bad for students if any racial group makes up a majority of that environment?  So we can only criticize environments with say 25% white, 25% Asian, 25% black and 25% Hispanic?  Do you see no validity to removing a test that if you have $4,000 you might have access to the actual test questions?  Do you see no validity in FCPS saying, we've created a situation where TJ's environment is not healthy for students because the focus has shifted from fostering the love of STEM to fostering a focus on high grades at all costs?  I don't care if the new TJ standards result in the same percentage of Asian kids.  I just care that all kids who love STEM and meet the 3.5 GPA benchmark are given the opportunity to pursue the love of STEM without needing to start preparing from 2nd grade, without needing to have resources to get outside enrichment, etc.  [/quote]
