“The bottom line is the (TJ) policy was adopted in order to, frankly, reduce the number of Asian Americans that were attending Thomas Jefferson,” Sen. Chap Petersen said. “And all you have to do is look at all the public comments that were being made at the time.”[/quote]

You do realize this was already illegal? And nobody used race as a factor.[/quote]
Try to understand proxy discrimination, you racist dumbass![/quote]

Providing access to kids who don't go to wealthy middle schools is really horrible.

Except that you didn’t.[/quote]

That is exactly what the new plan does.

No. What the new plan did was to discriminate Asian Americans as ruled by the federal court. This is also confirmed by the VA house bill that was just passed.[/quote]

The new process opened seats to kids across FCPS -- even low-income middle schools. TJ is a regional resource - it wasn't set aside for a few wealthy middle schools.

The seats were already open to those students. FCPS just decided to ignore merit and set aside seats to students more likely to be Black, Hispanic or low-income, while making clear the intent was to reduce Asian enrollment, in violation of the Constitution. [/quote]

Except it wasn't really based on "merit". It was "how rich are your parents?"
