Va. attorney general probing bias allegations in Loudoun County schools
Washington Post ^ | November 12, 2019 | Debbie Truong

The Virginia attorney general’s office has launched an investigation into the school system in one of the nation’s wealthiest counties after NAACP officials filed a complaint accusing Loudoun County Public Schools of failing to provide African American students equal access to advanced programs.

In an Oct. 3 letter to Loudoun Schools Superintendent Eric Williams, an official with Attorney General Mark R. Herring’s office said a discrimination complaint had been received this year alleging that African American students were denied equal opportunity to participate in the Academies of Loudoun, which includes the school system’s high-caliber science, technology, engineering and math programs.

That is why one cannot have nice schools. Considering Loudon county has shifted Left over the past decade, I find the VA's Democratic AG Herring going after them poetic justice.

Maybe because more AA student don’t have the academic standing to qualify for these programs. What the racists at the NAACR want is to impose quotes where outcomes are determined by having the proper skin color not by the quality of the candidate

But standard Democrat Fascist Party politics. If you cannot win on the merits, change the rules and impose your political dogmas by force.

Sounds like some black kids just weren't as smart as others to make the grade in these "high-caliber science, technology, engineering and math programs."

Which obviously means that these programs are racist. And as usual, the usual answer is to dumb down these programs.

Because racism sucks. Or something like that.

Sending kids to public schools is child abuse. This is just emblematic about how the institution is not about anything other than it’s own agenda.

Do whatever it takes to keep your kids out of them if you are a parent.

Most the parents flee to Loudoun county to escape the public schools filled with Latino immigrant children and blacks.

Amen to that! Government schools are propaganda mills and teach nothing. The only reason people send their kids to these kiddie prisons is because they are forced to pay for them and they need the subsidized babysitting. Obscene property taxes are the perfect weapon for the leftists. People can’t afford private schools because they pay so much for the public schools and they often can’t homeschool because they need 2 incomes to survive.

This trend means the end of any programs in public school that require academic qualifications to participate. Wake me up when standards and qualifications are considered verboten for the athletic programs.

Amen!

As grandparents, we can have some financial assists here. Like buying their Apple pads and computers for their private school classes and other necessary expenses.

They make believe Martin Luther King is their hero but every chance they get they spit on what he actually said.

He certainly had his flaws but he didn’t think like these idiots.

I actually saw a video of him on a show and the host was practically begging him to justify violence by blacks for the “cause” and he wouldn’t.

Like I said certainly not a saint but a lot better than this garbage we have today

I'd like to know. Does this school have advanced and high caliber training in how to collect welfare? How to obtain WIC and SNAP Cards? How to avoid jail? Maybe training in selecting a better grade of baby daddies? How to get Section 8 housing?

Seems these life skills would be valid and necessary in so many of our schools today. And perhaps these type of programs would be ones where certain demographic elements of society would excel at.

They are going to quickly implement a 'Racial Justice and Social Equity' Act - quotas on the number of that can be suspended, allowed into advanced programs, etc...

BTW, they just did the same thing across the river in Montgomery County MD. See the attached link and scroll down to the comment section and read what the affluent liberals in Bethesda think about all this:

“Sounds like some black kids just weren’t as smart as others to make the grade in these “high-caliber science, technology, engineering and math programs.”

In California the white, Asia and Hispanic kids will not get to attend the these classes as “more deserving kids from PP school get to attend.

You got that right. Why? Why are white kids discriminated against as they are woefully under represented in ALL aspects of sports programs? From grade school to the NBA and NFL.... A preponderance of players are not white. That is pure and simple racism.

By comparison, 79 students who enrolled in the Academy of Engineering and Technology for the first time in the fall were Asian and 62 were white.

See, neener neener, whites are being discriminated against!!

Did blacks kids make the grade to get into advanced classes? If not, then too bad.
