The Fourth Circuit will almost certainly reverse the district court judge’s decision on the merits.  The Supreme Court will not take the case.  The FCPS policy is frustrating to some, but it’s legally just fine.[/quote]

Exactly. The Supreme Court has a definite appetite for putting a hurt on affirmative action, but this isn’t really an affirmative action case in the same sense as Harvard or UNC.[/quote]

Their legitimacy is very questionable already.[/quote]

These suits are mostly laughable. Even the extremists on SCOTUS would be hard-pressed to support this level of nonsese.[/quote]

Right.[/quote]

Unfortunately, it will be 6 - 2 when it comes to affirmative action cases.  :mrgreen: [/quote]

The Supreme Court is unlikely to take the TJ academic because the policy itself is only problematic when compared to what existed previously.

The abhorrent behavior of the School Board and the eventual admissions policy are two completely separate questions.[/quote]

Nah. SCOTUS should settle this affirmative action in public k-12 once and for all.[/quote]

Except this has nothing to do with affirmative action. [/quote]

Well then, you got nothing to worry about.[/quote]

Correct, and this has been known for quite some time to all but a small number of posters on this board.[/quote]

You can slice it or dice it how ever you want but increasing number of black/Hispanic students by giving them preferential points at the expense of Asian students sounds like an affirmative action to me.[/quote]

More Asian students received preferential points than Black or Hispanic students. It just wasn't the Asian students who come from families that are claiming anti-Asian racism.[/quote]

I do wonder if part of this might be due to the “free meals for all” loophole last year and this year.  Because every child is entitled to free meals and given the poor wording the admissions staff used for the screening questions, technically any parent could select yes to both questions.

Many parents did not know this or did not feel comfortable selecting “Yes” when the intent behind the question (if not the actual poor wording by the admissions office) was to find poor students.  However, as some have said on other threads, prep companies clued in their families to the loophole.  [/quote]

Or the new admissions process helped poor Asian students. Introducing a non-falsifiable claim to try to muddy the situation to advance a narrative is gross.[/quote]
