You're inventing kids who simply don't exist in FCPS. The brilliant, poor kids born to families that don't prioritize education, but who still absolutely belong at TJ would have had to:

-Somehow not be placed in Young Scholar and not get the mentorship and enrichment from that. My kids' school had special field trips, summer camps, pull outs, and other programs for Young Scholars

-Perform poorly on the NNAT and CogAT, noting that completely unprepped, gifted kids ought to get high scores, and noting that it often only takes a 120-ish score to get into AAP from lower SES schools.

-Fail to impress any teachers anywhere in grades K-6. If they had impressed teachers, they would have been flagged for advanced services, a teacher would have referred them for AAP, or the like.

-Fail to qualify for Algebra in 7th, even though IAAT is pretty basic, and study materials are readily available.

-Fail to do any of the STEM extracurriculars, even though at least some are offered for free at every single FCPS middle school.

FCPS casts a very wide net and certainly isn't failing to identify and support gifted, lower income students. At some point, though, the kids have to show some initiative. They're 14 and not babies. If they want to go to a school like TJ, they can sign up for STEM extracurriculars and try to distinguish themselves in some way.


Or, you know, they didn't apply to or declined their offer of admission to TJ because they discovered that it was a hostile environment for kids who look like them.

Because of people with attitudes like the ones you find on DCUM.

I have two boys in middle school that are Black and been in AAP at Center schools since 3rd grade. They have experienced the racism the entire time and lots of micro aggressions from the other nonwhite groups in the program and they don’t want to go to TJ. We have decided to send our kid to a private where they will be more comfortable next year.

The current BS and treatment of Blacks at FCPS is like it was when the schools integrated in the 60’s.

keep fabricating stuff. people should have their IQs checked if they believe you're anyone else who isn't a white liberal.

What makes me a white liberal and what makes me fabricating?


The inconvenience of your lived experience to their precious persecution narrative. There is an obsession now with winning the Oppression Olympics because parts of America are finally reckoning with our horrendous treatment of Black folks for centuries.

I’m just sharing my personal experience. I’ve been sharing my experiences with prejudices and anti-Black racism long before the recent event’s causing discussion. I’ve lived it and don’t want my kids to suffer and be held back the way I was at times because Of it.

Unfortunately, I feel that I need to and have to teach my kids to counteract racism. I don’t Ike seeing any person be mistreated because of the color of their skin the way Black people in the US have been.

+1 I am also still waiting for Dems to find that nonexistent guy that couldn't get an ID and therefore can't vote.


Certainly not this voter.

"Memphis BLM founder Pamela Moses sentenced to 6 years for illegally voting

In 2015, Moses pleaded guilty to tampering with evidence and forgery, both felonies, and to misdemeanor charges of perjury, stalking, theft under $500, and escape.

She was placed on probation for seven years and deemed ineligible to vote in Tennessee because of the tampering with evidence
charge."

I’m sure Youngkin’s kid will get the same treatment and won’t benefit from any privilege whatsoever.


He didn't vote illegally. Was turned away by the pollsters so no crime committed.


Exactly, he only attempted to commit a crime.

How many people have went to for attempting to commit murder or attempting to steal something. The only reason he didn’t do it is because he was stopped.


Poor analogy. If someone showed up without their ID because they forgot it, are they attempting to commit a crime? According to you the answer would be yes. If someone showed up at the wrong polling place and got turned away and sent to the correct one, are they attempting to commit a crime? According to you the answer would be yes. That is not how it works.

That’s not what happened. This kid knowingly attempting to commit a crime multiple times in the same day.

You're inventing kids who simply don't exist in FCPS. The brilliant, poor kids born to families that don't prioritize education, but who still absolutely belong at TJ would have had to:

-Somehow not be placed in Young Scholar and not get the mentorship and enrichment from that. My kids' school had special field trips, summer camps, pull outs, and other programs for Young Scholars

-Perform poorly on the NNAT and CogAT, noting that completely unprepped, gifted kids ought to get high scores, and noting that it often only takes a 120-ish score to get into AAP from lower SES schools.

-Fail to impress any teachers anywhere in grades K-6. If they had impressed teachers, they would have been flagged for advanced services, a teacher would have referred them for AAP, or the like.

-Fail to qualify for Algebra in 7th, even though IAAT is pretty basic, and study materials are readily available.

-Fail to do any of the STEM extracurriculars, even though at least some are offered for free at every single FCPS middle school.

FCPS casts a very wide net and certainly isn't failing to identify and support gifted, lower income students. At some point, though, the kids have to show some initiative. They're 14 and not babies. If they want to go to a school like TJ, they can sign up for STEM extracurriculars and try to distinguish themselves in some way.


+1 I am also still waiting for Dems to find that nonexistent guy that couldn't get an ID and therefore can't vote.


Certainly not this voter.

"Memphis BLM founder Pamela Moses sentenced to 6 years for illegally voting

In 2015, Moses pleaded guilty to tampering with evidence and forgery, both felonies, and to misdemeanor charges of perjury, stalking, theft under $500, and escape.

She was placed on probation for seven years and deemed ineligible to vote in Tennessee because of the tampering with evidence
charge."

I’m sure Youngkin’s kid will get the same treatment and won’t benefit from any privilege whatsoever.


He didn't vote illegally. Was turned away by the pollsters so no crime committed.


Exactly, he only attempted to commit a crime.

Or, you know, they didn't apply to or declined their offer of admission to TJ because they discovered that it was a hostile environment for kids who look like them.

Because of people with attitudes like the ones you find on DCUM.
