[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am concerned that a state legislator has proposed a bill about  TJ admissions that was written by the Coalition for TJ.  It would great to have a neutral approach, not a partisan one.[/quote]

And, this was written as a reaction to what our SB did last year--I think.

And, FCPS has put a statement against this bill on their website--which I find troubling.  Claiming that TJ is #1 is kind of interesting as we have yet to see the results of the changes.

I find this too political to be on a public school system's website.[/quote]

Wow. That is a VERY political page. Surprised to see something worded like that from FCPS. It does read to me a bit like they copy and pasted from whatever the lawyer prepared to defend on the case.

Regardless why is a public school system taking a position on state legislation? That does not seem at all appropriate for them to do regardless of the topic [/quote]

It references politics but is not siding Republican or Democrat. It sounds like you're the one implying that it is a partisan issue.[/quote]

No I did not mean political in that sense. What I am meant is that this is a highly charged policy and social topic and the language FCPS uses on that page is quite strong. Beyond that it is not their role to take a position on pending legislation  [/quote]
