[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Assuming arguendo plaintiffs “win” in district court, the Fourth Circuit is locked down liberal.  So it would be reversed.  Gets to Supreme Court.  5-4 Fourth Circuit upheld.  FCPS wins.  Long game.[/quote]

If that happens, then that would be institutionalizing racism, and we would literally be confirming that we are now a socialist country. [/quote]

With the amount of actual racism that Asians face in this country, you'd think they would be able to interpret what is and is not racism. The removal of a standardized exam as a metric is [i]anti[/i]racist.[/quote]

Their reason for doing it is to reduce the number of Asians.[/quote]

This is true in the same sense that when colleges decided to start admitting women, they were doing it to reduce the number of men.

Which is to say, you can read it that way if you want, and there will definitely be an impact on the number of Asians because they are so profoundly dominant at the school currently - but really, that's not why they're doing it.

Remember once upon a time we as a society believed that women were less capable of doing well in higher education.[/quote]

Except they didn't reduce the standards when they admitted women.  The schools became more selective, not less.

At TJ they will are just dispensing with objective criteria to produce the diversity they want.  At the expense of Asian kids. [/quote]

So, here's the reality of the situation. You are only going to see the percentage of Asian kids at TJ decrease significantly IF the number of non-Asian applicants across the board increases significantly. Which is going to create a more selective process.

[b]The percentage of Asian students dive-bombed from 74.9% with Class of 2021 to 65.2% with Class of 2022[/b]. The major change to the process in that year was the change to [b]the exams that you all are so desperately trying to save now[/b]. In the two years since, 2023 was about 72% and 2024 was about 73%. This tracks perfectly with the increases that Curie reported.

When a new exam was introduced, somehow magically you saw the largest group of Hispanic students that we've seen in decades. But then the prep companies caught up, and order was restored to the universe.[/quote]

this is really damning. pretty much hard proof that it's the prep that's making the difference on the macro level[/quote]
