ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) — A federal judge ruled Friday that a Virginia school system illegally discriminated against Asian Americans when it overhauled the admissions policies at an elite public school.
The ruling from U.S. District Judge Claude Hilton found that impermissible “racial balancing” was at the core of the plan to overhaul admissions to Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology, known as “TJ.” The school routinely ranks as the best or one of the best public schools in the country, and slots at the school are highly competitive.
In 2020, the Fairfax County School Board significantly revamped the admissions process at the school. A standardized test that had been a linchpin of the admissions process was scrapped in favor of a system that set aside equal numbers of TJ slots at each of the county’s middle schools, among other changes.
Hilton, in his ruling, wrote, “The discussion of admissions changes was infected with talk of racial balancing from its inception.”

Good for the judge
A Reagan appointee.
Good.
As Biden just followed through with his intention to discriminate and name a black female judge for the Supreme Court.
Couldn’t agree more.
Any plan to drag down the best and the brightest, should wind
some folks up in prison.
How do we as a nation excel, if we are going to allow our
best to be beaten down.
This angers me, and I’m glad this judge came down right on it.
but I thought that was okay since it is the democrat’s children that attend school there. It doesn’t apply to them! What is wrong with this judge?
How can he call himself progressive is she wasn’t misgendered on her birth certificate as a boy?
I think calling Thomas Jefferson an “elite” school is misleading. I think of an elite school as the schools that cost $30,000 a year and attended by the children of the high and mighty attend in New York City and DC. Thomas Jefferson would more accurately be called an academic excellence public school or a competitive entry public school.
If it was a Dem judge that got the case, not only would he have approved the new discriminatory diversity plan but he would have also required the township to remove the name of the slave owning Thomas Jefferson from the school
Wait till the senior composite is all chinese. Rethink.
