Like what? Otherwise the post is worthless. P.S. They don't interview prospective students at TJ.
Why don't you ask PP to clarify what was meant by "interviewed"?
It's funny how anecdotes about racist Asians are dismissed but anecdotes about how kind and wonderful TJ students are can't be repeated enough times for those who refuse to acknowledge there is anything about TJ that deserves careful scrutiny, whether it's the school's culture, its non-representative demographics, or its impact on other FCPS students.
If FCPS cares about equity, it will put TJ under a microscope. If it doesn't, the current School Board will be held to account for its glaring hypocrisy.

I’m sure your snowflake would have been fine at her base school, but props for loading your post up with all the typical code language about TJ kids (“nice, fun-loving, talented”) that invariably implies such qualities can’t be found elsewhere.
It will be a glorious day when we finally do away with this deeply racist magnet school.

We had Indian neighbors who told us point blank they wouldn't send their kids to our neighborhood high school, which our kids were attending at the time, because they didn't like "the look" of the kids (who happened to be mostly black and Hispanic) walking to the school in the morning. Their son got into TJ; when their daughter didn't get in, they sent her to private instead.
I have no idea why a county that supposedly cares about equity and "One Fairfax" would cater to such people. It is simply appalling.
