Let's do a thought experiment.

Prior to the recent admissions changes, year over year the demographic at TJ was basically:

73% Asian, 19% white, 5% multiracial (which usually means Asian and white), 2% Hispanic, 1% Black.

Let's pretend that the School Board implemented a policy that resulted in a demographic of:

54% Asian, 39% white, 5% multiracial, 2% Hispanic, 1% Black.

There is [b]absolutely no chance[/b] that FCPS - or anyone in the pro-reform column - would have considered those changes successful. [b]ABSOLUTELY NONE[/b].

What actually happened was that FCPS implemented a policy that resulted in:

54% Asian, 22% white, 5% multiracial, 11% Hispanic, 7% Black.

If you read the above data and conjecture, and your conclusions remain:

1) TJ reform is solely about reducing the Asian population, OR
2) TJ reform is about increasing the white population;

... then there's nothing that I or anyone else can do to help you. Your delusions are baked in and you might as well put on your red hat or your puffy vest.

The fact that it [i]affects[/i] you doesn't mean it's [i]about[/i] you..[/quote]
So basically you agreed that FCPS had a predetermined racial composition in mind before carrying out the reform? We're on the same page then because we all agree FCPS' TJ reform was based on race.[/quote]

I wouldn't argue that they had specific numbers in mind. But as long as the lived experience of different racial groups in America remains as disparate as it is, it's already been established that there is educational value in having students from different backgrounds in the classroom, and yes, that includes race.[/quote]
So again, the TJ reform was racially motivated. Got it.[/quote]

Race and affluence.  Yes, no one is denying that.[/quote]
So by definition, the TJ reform or the entire liberal policy is racist.[/quote]

+1 Segregation now, segratation forever. Anything else is racist [/quote]
