    We have a public high school in Northern VA that is a magnet for extremely gifted kids. Some of the brightest in the country. A couple of years ago the now extreme leftist school board revamped the admission process to create diversity. Many top notch Asian American kids never got in and these are kids scoring 1500 on their SATs and such. Well the parents tried to reason with the racist board but to no avail, so they took them to court and won! Good job parents and good job Honorable Judge Claude Hilton.

    "
    "In 2020, the Fairfax County School Board significantly revamped the admissions process at the school," the AP wrote. "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."

    In his ruling, the judge wrote: “The discussion of admissions changes was infected with talk of racial balancing from its inception.”

    I watched it was interesting he certainly brought up valid points. I really try to remain right center but this whole covid thing reading online toxic stories and comments. There are maskers wishing death on anybody skeptical or not taking the shots. If the voters do not figure it out in 2022 and 2024 we are in big trouble, that being said rein in the right wing nut jobs that say stupid **** every week. Marjorie Greene and the dunce in Colorado are not helping the cause.
