[quote=Anonymous][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]

Actually, white numbers will increase substantially under the new policy.  It is literally only the Asian numbers that will decrease.  I don't have a problem with each middle school getting an allotment of seats, or a true lottery, but let's not pretend either method won't result in TJ no longer being a school of the best and brightest of Northern Virginia.  Maybe it's time to stop caring about that and make TJ just a STEM focus school.[/quote]

[b]TJ won’t be nearly as good as Langley in a few years.[/b]  The School Board fortunately doesn’t mess around with any social engineering there and lets it continue to serve the elite areas of the county.  [/quote]

Beyond laughable.
