Who would have thought that you could be discriminated against for working hard in America. Instead of discriminating against successful Asian students, why aren't they finding out why the are such achievers and apply that to other groups? It's eerily similar to Jews being discriminated against for being successful at business, hating them instead of learning from them. This is just calling affirmative action a new word. What a shame. Same thing is happening in California. It needs to be about who works hard enough to pass the tough exams, not about race quotas. Thanks for taking this on.
The core problem is the teacher's union. Instead of working harder to elevate the lesser students it is easier to penalize the better students. Equity is a cancer in our society. This country was built on the idea that smart, hardworking people would succeed, and they would help elevate those around them.
This is the school that removed standardized testing and capped the number of admissions taken from each middle school because the Asian Americans were probably scoring high and they also were mostly coming from just a few schools in the district. Obviously their policy was deliberately designed to discriminate against them. They made up over 70% of admissions last year. That’s a gap they wanted to close and they did so unfairly. People want to talk about fairness and equity. How is discrimination against these people in favor of other groups fair or equitable? What is fair and equitable is protecting people from discrimination, not discriminating against others when others cannot close the kind of disparities that rely on their ability and not overcoming discrimination against them. Students that couldn’t get in because they didn’t meet the standard on the test didn’t make it in on merit, not because someone reviewing their file decided they weren’t good enough because they were black or brown and they preferred the Asian student get in.
They said it was a mistake. 1 to 2 times individually is a mistake. Over 5 years is planned and deliberately. Sue every entity and person involved. An example should be made out of everyone so it's never even a thought. Make it biblical 😂
They do allow Asians into the school. But they altered the admissions process to make sure *fewer* Asians could get in. We argued that it wasn't legal to do this.

Meritocracy never existed lol
TJ still rated higher than all of NYC magnet schools and all but one magnet school in Chicago.

This makes me ill. We have fallen so much.
This is crazy! They don't let Asians into this school anymore? How is that legal?

The core is AAs are so used to have things handed to them instead of actually work for it.
Asian American are no used to things being handed to them 😡
