The Daily Wire has published a very interesting article covering Thursday’s Fairfax County School Board when Asian parents stood up to the board and in a show of true courage the board fled. Everyone should read this article.
Asian parents were objecting to the school board’s appeal of a judge’s ruling that TJ could not use a race-based admission program for Thomas Jefferson high school for Science and Technology. The ruling forced Fairfax County to return to the merit-based program they have always used for admission to the number one school in the nation.
From the Dailywire:
The Thomas Jefferson School For Science and Technology once had the highest math scores in the country, but after the school board determined that that was not “equitable,” they jettisoned the math test used for admission in favor of a process based on how “disadvantaged” students were. The result was that the famed school had to begin offering remedial math. (Emphasis mine.)
Asra Nomani, the India-born mother of a TJ student who was involved in the successful lawsuit, spoke at Thursday�™s meeting, and told the board “For the last two years you have been trying to make us invisible, but a federal judge has ruled that in fact you are going to go down in history just like I told you you would, just like the school board in� Brown vs. Board.”
“You are the new face of racism,” she said. (Emphasis mine.)
Nomani brought with her to the podium a stack of copies of� Race To The Bottom, a new book by Daily Wire investigative reporter Luke Rosiak, which highlights anti-merit, anti-Asian school policies and chronicles the Fairfax school board in particular.
“I have here a copy of a book for each one of you,� Race To The Bottom. And you are all in this book. A book for you Karen Corbett Sanders, a book for you Stella Pekarsky, a book for you Abrar Omeish,” she said, as the crowd erupted in cheers. “All of you have failed us. I have all of these books, I hope you read them from cover to cover and see yourself in the pages of history — as failures.”
The citizens of Fairfax county are paying high-priced lawyers at Hunton Andrews Kurth, the successor to Hunton & Williams, the firm that supported segregation in Brown v Board of Education, to fight merit-based admissions to the best high school in the country.
