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

The left is re-assassinating MLK.
Disgusting on steroids.
Commie bitch. Is that wrong to say? Jesus let me know please.
Fire, indict and prosecute, and file a civil lawsuit against the principal and eveyone involved in this racist action.
BTTT
Idiocracy.
If notification to the principal was via US Mail the crime of mail fraud may have been committed.
If by e-email,...wire fraud...
Bigger pigs need & eat more feed.
***. why not find out what they are doing right and teach it to the others .. ***
Family and racial pride and honor.
or
Garbage in : garbage out - on the negative side.
Wonder if this school’s administrators feel the same way about sports awards banquets??
That would be a hoot if someone pointed that out to her.
Time for the hypocrisy of the left to be shoved in their faces at every opportunity.
Equity is socialism/communism. Equal outcome regardless of talent, ability, or effort.
THIS is government enforced institutional racism. It’s also blatant child abuse.
There must be Separation of School and State.
For the children.
BTW....equity? Or diversity?
Pick one, you can’t have both.
The Letter of Commendation is the lowest award but it still means something and can help a kid get into his chosen college. She surely knew that.
Not this again... This is fake news.
Shame on the helicopter moms who made these claims and caused this fake news to go viral.
Give us more info?
The principal did nothing wrong. One department dropped the ball.
The school received a larger number of letters than usual - about 240 (IIRC). This is considered a top school. The school brags about its semifinalists and winners.
According to the news articles, etc., these were letters for “commended students.” They scored high, but not high enough for the cut. (?)
The package of letters were delivered to the school late (in mid-October) due to not enough postage. The principal signed all the letters within 48 hours. She passed them on to Student Services to be distributed to students via teachers. Student Services didn’t hand out the letters until November 14. It sounds more like they dropped the ball, because there were so many letters. The letters were handed out in homeroom.
The parent claims the school didn’t want to hurt the feelings of students who didn’t get a letter, but the letters were handed out in front of each student’s class, so that claim makes no sense.
This is supposedly a record of the emails:

If anything, Student Services didn’t seem to think the letters of commendation were important. That’s what these mothers should be complaining about - their kids were overlooked, while the school brags about the higher-scoring semifinalists:

Yep...It looks like the local Moms are pushing back pretty hard.
THE YEAR WAS 2081, and everybody was finally equal. They weren't only equal before God and the law. They were equal every which way. Nobody was smarter than anybody else. Nobody was better looking than anybody else. Nobody was stronger or quicker than anybody else. All this equality was due to the 211th, 212th, and 213th Amendments to the Constitution, and to the unceasing vigilance of agents of the United States Handicapper General.
