A group of parents at the nation’s top high school is suing the county school board for adopting new admissions practices that would slash the number of incoming Asian-American students.

Parents sue to stop discriminatory admissions at top-ranked high school

It all started with an email. Last summer, as George Floyd’s death rocked the nation and COVID-19 kept many Fairfax County Public Schools students at home, Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology principal Dr. Ann Bonitatibus sent an email urging students and parents to “think of the privileges you hold that others may not.” Fairfax County, Va., is certainly privileged, with a median household income of nearly $54,000 and a population in which more than 60 percent hold a college degree or higher. It’s also home to Thomas Jefferson High School, better known as TJ. The No. 1-ranked public high school in the nation, TJ attracts the most gifted STEM students in northern Virginia.

In Virginia, an interfaith coalition fights to get non-Christian holidays on school calendars

Rabbi Jessica Wainer joined a task force on religious observance created by the Fairfax County School Board last year. The committee was convened to address food, curriculum, clothing, and other religious accommodations. But as its first goal, the group of Jewish, Muslim, Sikh, Hindu and other minority religion representatives chose what they thought would be the simplest adding a handful of non-Christian holidays to the days schools would be closed. She and other members of the group had seen students face academic consequences and social pressures for observing their family’s customs. Whether it’s exams on Rosh Hashanah, field trips on Diwali, homecoming games and parties on Eid, or mandatory test-prep sessions on Yom Kippur, the calendar was filled with conflicts forcing students to either sacrifice core parts of their school experience or compromise on their religious obligations.
