The school board can easily solve the "prep" problem by giving a bump in the holistic review to applicants who have no access or can't afford to prep. They can also take legal or administrative actions against the prep centers. But that's not the real issue.
The real issue is educators have failed to narrow the achievement gap for URMs for decades. Bureaucrats are using the "TJ prep" as a ruse to lie to the URMs that they have not failed them but them Asians cheated.
I don't think so. If you don't prioritize education in the home (not culture! let's just focus on the family unit), then it doesn't matter how much educators can offer. Like the saying goes, you can bring a horse to the water but you can't make them drink.

No sh!t. The point was it isn't billionaires filing these lawsuits against racial policies that discriminate against Asians.
But are they? Who exactly is funding the Pacific Legal Foundation that seems to get involved in every claim of anti-Asian discrimination?
The PLF was founded in 1973 by lawyers from California. It is a non-profit, libertarian public interest law firm. They do much more than discrimination cases. "Pacific" comes from being founded in California, not from representing Asians. In fact, other than the case against Montgomery County, I can't think of another case they handled involving Asian plaintiffs. And I don't know of any Asian lawyers that work there (at least in the Arlington office).
They sent a letter to FCPS threatening litigation if FCPS changed its admissions policy for TJ...so clearly they haven’t just limited their activism to Montgomery.
A letter is not a "case."
Nor is every "claim," dummy.
The PP post says “case” not “claim.”
PLF filed and amicus brief on behalf of a couple Asian-American advocacy groups in the Harvard case on appeal. They appear to have taken on racial preferences in education as an issue they are passionate about.
