[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was upset that the article characterized an entire school as racist. I have a minority student and that is not DC experience at all [/quote]

+1.  This article took one teenage girl’s opinion on her experience and pretended that it was fact and then characterized the whole school as something.  The girl is entitled to her opinion but why is no one else’s opinion being presented?  My kids did not agree with her depictions of TJ and the comments here undoubtedly from people with no experience at TJ are shockingly racist towards people of Asian origin.[/quote]

The School Board has heard about the systemic issues for some time from a large number of students, alumni, and parents.  You just don't like what they have to say, or that the Post chose to profile one student's experience to put a human face on it.

It's not as if the anti-change crowd at TJ doesn't have its own spokespeople, including the Coalition for TJ and Asra Nomani, who churns out new articles on a daily basis that are widely circulated in conservative circles. [/quote]

TJ should be closed and converted into a local high school, and the money redistributed back to the other high schools.  TJ no longer benefits the community at large, it was a great idea that has been hijacked. [/quote]
