[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Overwhelming public evidence exists that the new TJ admissions process was adopted with the purpose of disadvantaging Asian-American students and reducing Asian American enrollment at TJ. As such, these changes violate the Equal Protection Clause.

Helping URMs is a noble goal, but you cannot be biased against Asian Americans in the process.  The board essentially gerrymandered the application process to kneecap Asian Americans.  The intent is clear.

The application process needs to be redesigned by a board that doesn't hold stereotypes against Asian Americans.  The board didn't even pretend to be neutral.[/quote]

By definition increasing URM numbers at TJ will decrease Asian and White numbers- the math is really simple there. You're basically saying that desegregation is a per se violation of the equal protection clause because it necessarily disadvantages one race- good luck with that [/quote]

+1. This lawyer who wrote the Hill op-Ed piece is either a staggeringly poor lawyer or a staggeringly brilliant businesswoman. These families are going to end up paying gobs and gobs of legal fees - both their own and FCPS’ if the case is even heard - and it’s only going to get worse the further up they appeal.

And for what? If you’re the type of kid who is helped by the old admissions process, you’re also the type of kid whose college admissions prospects will be hurt by going to TJ over your base school. It just doesn’t add up.[/quote]

They are taking a stand against discrimination against them that is getting worse and worse.  You would have told Rosa Parks she was wasting her time.[/quote]
