Fairfax County, Virginia’s School Board is planning to scrap admissions tests at the elite Thomas Jefferson High School in favor of a “merit lottery” system meant to admit more “diverse” students.
According to a news release from Fairfax County Public Schools, Superintendent Scott S. Braband told the board to change admissions policies at Thomas Jefferson High School, a magnet school rated as the best in the nation, to “promote access to historically underserved students.”
The release bemoaned the fact that despite hiring a specialist to recruit minority students and previously altering admissions standards in 2011, a “significant impact” has yet to be made on “student demographics.”

LOL, the ‘rats are always tacitly admitting that minorities are’t smart.
There goes my GD entrance to it. I can see now that I will have to fork over bucks to put her in a high achieving private school.
Well, with the phds they’re graduating from college at Rutgers and who knows where else, 2+2 can now equal whatever.
will they be administering DNA tests to determine race?
The “Thomas Jefferson High School” will never achieve Maximum Wokeness with that decrepit name. They need to change it to the “George Floyd High School.”

Isn’t this the school district that is currently deciding whether or not to pay a ransom for its own files because they had a lazy IT department? Maybe scrapping the tests is an accidental security and privacy measure.
~promote access to undeserved students~

TJ is also going to a meritocracy based enrollment. It will no longer be a magnet school.
FCPS, WORST county for education in the country (Don’t believe the lying polls)... Leading the way to the bottom.
You watch. They’ll continue to call it “America’s Best HS” even after more and more affirmative action retards “graduate” not even being able to read their diploma.
So which high school moves up to #1 now?
“You can’t fake mathematics you can’t fake engineering and you can’t fake physics and you can’t fake chemistry and you can’t fake chemical engineering and the list goes on”
Sure you can! They started with basic biology and it is a raging success. Men are now women, women are now men ... some identify as animals ... others are non-binary queer or whatever.
Science, math, physics ... pfft ... that’s all based on how you feel too! If distance = rate * time makes you feel unwell, just call it racist and say the answer is 4! Who are you to judge me?!?!?!?
/s
(I am beyond sick and tired of these people. I cannot coexist with these delusional idiots)
Won’t be the nations BEST high school for long!!! These people are truly insane!!
I believe the formerly elite NYC schools are undergoing a similar transformation.
Why do you think Red China wants us electing Stalinazi Demonrats to office ?
The alumni from that school need to stop donations immediately. Grow some balls. Stand up for your beliefs. Speak up.
The school has shown it doesn’t care about students or alumni.

What is the difference between a public school and a magnet school?
A fundamental difference between magnet schools and other public schools is that magnet schools receive additional funding to maintain their specialized programs. ... Teachers at magnet schools are also highly specialized and may go through more training and professional development.
Technically it is a state school and not a private one. So it doesn’t get private funding.
