[quote=Anonymous]All this crap about Curie can be true but it still doesn't change the fact that all the email traffic between the board members discussing this change was concerned about the embarrassingly low number of black and hispanic students at TJ. It still doesn't change the fact that they specifically discussed and dismissed the negative impact it would have on asians and only asians. There is really no denying the changes were driven by a desire to racially balance the student population at TJ. A desire to put race ahead of merit. Some of the effects of this racially driven change are not horrible. Higher FARM population, more diversity, lower overall stress level surrounding what is essentially a random admissions process, lower overall stress level at the school because only about 1/3rd of the kids would have gotten in under a merit based admissions process. But the end result is a less competitive school and a bunch of gifted kids stuck at their base school.[/quote]
