A legal activist group has petitioned the Supreme Court to hear a case involving race-based admissions policies at an elite public high school in Virginia. What the case is about: The Pacific Legal Foundation (PLF) is challenging the admissions policies at Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology, which adopts what the school board claims to be race-neutral criteria to achieve a diverse student body. The PLF is representing the Coalition for TJ, a group consisting of mostly Asian American parents, for free.
