Parents demand principal of America's top public school be fired after she withheld prestigious National Merit Awards from top students to boost 'equity' and 'protect feelings' of kids who didn't win one The decision by brass at Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology in Fairfax, Virginia, was reportedly part of a new school strategy
As a result, pupils whom had been named 'commended students' by the National Merit Scholarship Corp. left in the dark to not 'hurt the feelings of' other students
Only learning of the distinction a few months ago in the fall, student and their families are irate - and were seen at the school Friday airing their displeasure

What is this world coming too?!
Fired, pilloried a d blacklisted.
Ah! The natural outcome of the philosophy of participation trophies.
The US education system has been working feverishly for over 50 years to destroy any and all concepts of American Exceptionalism abd Personal Achievement.
Here is further proof. Sad...
Locked up in the pillory.
They had awards at my granddaughters school...Hell...everyone got an award.
“school...Hell...everyone got an award”
And that does not make our youth stronger in any way.
I don’t even like these Asian tax cheats. But they got screwed over here in favor of blacks. So it seems
This is so wrong on so many levels.
I don’t think it should be done this way, but if they are so concerned about offending others, then call in the students to the principal’s office for a private meeting. The students should be informed as soon as the school knows.
Later in the article, it said they had been keeping excellant students out if they were Asian. If the Asian students study and do better, why not find out what they are doing right and teach it to the others ... not turn deserving students away. What bone-headed thinking this is!
“What is this world coming too?!”
It started with participation trophies 20 years ago.
it was absurd....and very long.
The things these liberal retards pull to try and get minorities to look better always end up doing the opposite.
If the concept is not to make others feel un-equal, then make them all equally dumb by closing the school. Saves a lot of effort and money that can better be used to build tiny houses and sex change operations.
When will people wake up and stop Tolerating this crap. And not just this. The left is destroying whole countries.
Winners and losers. You either got it or you don’t.
Life is tough. Life is tougher when you’re stupid.

Ann or Andy?
I prefer the time honored tradition of tar and feathers, then running them out of town.

I’ve given up. Tell the parents of this ‘wonderful’, ‘exceptional’, school that it answers to the same monsters as any school in LaHood, and 95% of them would have you committed, if they could find a way.
They deserve what they get, just as ANY ‘conservative’ who continues to use their horrible institutions.
So, another question here is whether she impeded any of them getting scholarships.
Fired? How about indicted? This woman robbed the recipients of the value of the awards.
