Because people at TJ, FCPS admin, and VDOE made it a big issue this year.
Also because no African American students chose to join this fall's freshmen class, and that concerned many people in the wake of the protests this summer.
TJ students have a reputation for being racist toward Black TJ students. This is well known in this area among Black social circles.
See other posts in this thread as examples of their parents' racism.
Proof?
Your right about racism in this thread, it’s directed towards Asians though. Just like the many other posts against Asian American students and parents in this forum. And you are blind if you think otherwise.
Scream racism all you want, but you should take a healthy look in the mirror the next time you say racist.

If any other racial group chose not to join a 70% black high school even if it had the best academics, those people would be called fools and racists.
Instead, we have to change the entire system in the middle of a pandemic with inequities far greater in regular public schools due to distance learning to make TJ more palatable to those that cannot bear the idea of going to school with a bunch of Asian AMERICAN kids.

African american kids were not admitted. Not that they just choose not to go.
There were six Black kids admitted to Class of 2024 and they turned TJ down as inhospitable.
And how do you know this? Are you telling me you know all these 6 Black kids and all said that they "turned TJ down as inhospitable?"
And to the PP who said Asian kids don't really want to go to TJ but are forced by their parents, so how can you be sure that Black or Hispanic kids want to attend TJ?
That stat of 0 for 6 is made up.
