[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TJ's racist policy that your tax dollars is defending cut the Asian entry by half

“By half”? Guess you’re not so good with numbers?

Recap of admission #s from 2024 to 2025:
+64 overall

+50 female
+14 male

+46 hispanic +242%
+37 white +26%
+29 black +245%
+8 other/mixed +26%
-56 asian -26%

+142 from underrepresented MSs
-36 private school
[/quote]

And despite that TJ is still over 50% Asian right?[/quote]

Yup. Headline: Group That Is Over-Represented Threefold Thinks It’s Racist That They’re No Longer Over-Represented Four-Fold[/quote]

+1 And something must be done about this![/quote]

Keep going.  This "racial balancing" motivation is what is being questioned by the court.  You can have a great outcome but if the process to get there is not constitutional then it does not matter.  But keep going.  You guys dont care how unfair/unconstitutional a process is as long as it gets your goals.[/quote]

You need to stop acting as though a different process that had the same result would have somehow been satisfactory to you. Any change in the process that had a reasonable chance of a steep decline in Asian students would have triggered the same outcry and the same development of a Coalition-style entity to keep Black kids out and maintain the ability of motivated parents to leverage their resources to make their kids look more worthy than they are.

You just have a better chance of winning because this School Board can’t get out of its own way.[/quote]

You are absolutely wrong there.  There are many who believe that reform is needed and diversity needs to be a focus at TJ.  And any reform will likely result in fewer Asians.  But what we see right now is a total us versus them animus on both sides.  C4TJ has a scorched earth strategy (class of 2026 be damned) and the School Board is positioning the reform as the best thing that has happened since sliced bread.

Reform is needed but the reform effort has to include participation from those that are impacted (which takes time and was near impossible with restrictions on in-person gatherings during the pandemic).

We can continue down this path of Asians throwing shade at other races and other races throwing shade on Asians.  Whichever way this case is decided, the societal impact will continue for years.  Unless someone in leadership steps up.  That is too much to ask of this partisan school board.  [/quote]
