The investigation subsequently expanded to the entire Fairfax County school district “in light of reports and complaints that multiple schools across the county withheld awards from high achieving students,” the attorney general’s office said on Jan. 9.

And I must add — ASIAN STUDENTS ARE OVER-REPRESENTED in Virginia’s best schools even though the Asian Community is a minority in the state.

If were 1 school it could have been a bureaucratic SNAFU. But not if it’s 17 schools. It had to be intentional. No way could it been accidental as the schools are now claiming.

Hanson’s Razor: never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

All students who got National Merit semifinalist status were notified. That is how you qualify for the scholarships.

What happened was that those who were commended (close but not a semifinalist) were delayed in getting their certificates.

From Fairfax County Times, (Jan 9, 2023):

Excerpt:

Late today, Fairfax County Public Schools Superintendent Michelle Reid admitted to problems with “internal practices” that have led to the withholding of National Merit awards from students and their families, as local community members raise questions about $513,500 in local contracts that have disseminated controversial ideas, which include being “purposefully unequal” and accepting “new discriminations” to rectify “past discriminations.”

According to new information obtained by the Fairfax County Times, three local agencies – Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS), the Reston Community Center and Fairfax County Public Library – have paid divisive author Ibram X. Kendi a total of $58,500 for three hours and 50 minutes of talks since 2020, most of which were virtual.

In his book, “How to Be an Antiracist,” released in August 2019, Kendi states, “The only remedy to racist discrimination is antiracist discrimination. The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination. The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination.”

In an April 26, 2022, meeting with a New Jersey school board, posted on YouTube. Fagbayi said, “The goal is equal outcomes. And what we need to be equitable about is the access. In a very real sense, many districts struggle with this. To have true equity, you have to be purposefully unequal when it comes to resources. I want to say that again because most districts struggle with that. To have an equity-centered organization, we have to have the courage and the willingness to be purposefully unequal when it comes to opportunities and access.”

Of course they did and if whites don’t stand up they will keep doing this kind of stuff and worse. Our children are in the crosshairs, and they care if it hurts them or not.

It is malice, not stupidity.

School administrators and teachers resent their brightest and most industrious students, which they weren't.

The teaching and admin establishment are stone Marxists, and the core of Marxism is envy.

This whole episode is powered by envy.

Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity (DIE) is likewise a branch of international Marxism that is powered by envy.

The whole movement is extremely effective, in the same way pouring sand into the gas tank of a Ferrari is extremely effective.

It really is a sad testament to human beings that such evil resentment and jealousy is so easily aroused among so many people.

BTW Christianity or Judaism are the potent antidotes to these bad things.

Headline asks a silly question, as it’s demonstrably true they did that.

OK, fine.

But what are the repercussions??? Will anyone be sued, fired, or held accountable??? Until then this is just "the same old, same old."
