[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The vigil and most of the views of the group are ignorant, embarrassing and flat out wrong. What TJ has become is so far from the original intent and character of the school back in the 90s. I would not want my children to attend now, although I loved my experience there. Diversity was an issue then and it has become a crisis that needs immediate, bold action. Otherwise it pains me to say that I believe TJ should be shut down because it is not serving its students nor the community.

Oh great, another white person telling us how bad it is that a school is majority Asian American.[/quote]

I’m Indian American and felt I and the entire community would have benefited from a more diverse and inclusive student body when I was there, back when the school was not majority Asian. More diverse teachers would have helped too. It was not as cliquish back then. Kids just showed up as teachable students, teachers and students had flexibility and it was a genuinely interesting place. I may sound like a crotchety old person but I don’t get any of that energy when I go to events now. [/quote]
