JTN: Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology in Fairfax County, Virginia, reportedly delayed notifying its students of their receipt of certain academic achievement awards until after the deadlines for early selection at some colleges and universities, which many parents have alleged was done as part of the school district’s alleged efforts to create “equal outcomes for every student, without exception.”
The school received awards from the National Merit Scholarship Corporation in October 2022, but did not pass them on to their student recipients until the following month, after many early application deadlines had already passed, according to Fox News Digital. Accordingly, the honored students were unable to list a highly relevant achievement on their applications. Parents have described an ongoing “war on merit” within the school district. MORE
In this day and age, sending your kids to public school counts as abuse. You’re a bad parent.
“Home school or die!”
“Fairfax County Public Schools has admitted to the late notifications, but asserted that it has made efforts to contact the relevant universities on behalf of their student recipients to update the academic credentials for consideration.”
“…made efforts..” ??!! OhhhKayyyy… Affected students should advise their skrewel counselors to copy said “efforts”, in writing, to the students’ lawyers.
That’s the second hurdle. The third hurdle will be the wall of resistance they will meet in the college admissions offices. At that point the students should make a wiser choice and go to a trade school. Funner work life, be your own boss, and make a higher average lifetime income.
Meh. Merit awards will not impress the universities’ Office Of Equity And Inclusion anyways. Only skin color is relevant.
…or having extremely wealthy and connected Democrat parents.
Too many of the award winners were Asian. The Dems always achieve equity by tearing down one group instead of lifting another.
“Equity” sucks!
You can never make a “lessor person” more than they are willing to be.
