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.

And so it begins ...

Is he the racist or the rapist?

[Responsibility2nd]

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.

....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.

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:

Bill Seeks to end Racial Inequity in Montgomery County

[Bonemaker]

STEM is not their bag.

[bgill]

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.

[Saltmeat]

They will adopt some half-baked quota system so that the minorities can be accepted into the high performer program. Then in order to keep them in the program, they will lower the expectations of all the students. Then the deserving students will no longer be challenged and they will be denied a better education, and will be ill equipped to compete in college.

Our local school system dropped their gifted program many years ago, rather than deal with discrimination lawsuits.
