[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have not been following this topic, but am interested in what the court is ruling on. Can someone point me to a thread with a plain language explanation of the admissions change? Thank you![/quote]

1. 2020 TJ admission results showed black students are TS (too small, less than 10). George Floyd happened. The SB and the superintendent decided to change the admission policy to increase the numbers of URMs.
2. The SB changed the policy that removed the entrance exam, added quota for attending middle school (deliberately not using base school), and experience factors for low income, etc.
3. A group of parents sued the FCPS for discrimination under the 14th amendment
4. A federal district court judge ruled against FCPS that it illegally discriminated against Asians and ordered the suspension of the new admission policy
5. FCPS appealed to the 4th circuit and was granted a stay.
6. The parent group appealed to the SC to lift the stay but the request was denied by 6-3 with Barret and Kavanaugh joining the liberals.

The whole case is still pending in the 4th circuit.[/quote]

And Chief Justice Roberts.[/quote]
