If “Doctor Ann” (she does have an Ed.D!) actually wrote “Here Here”, there’s one problem right there.


“...gut the race-blind, merit-based admissions testing process...”

Some city’s orchestra conducted blind-auditions for musicians. They would play behind a curtain. This had to be abandoned because not enough minorities made the cut.

Just as ‘diversity’ is now more important than skill and execution in music, so it is in academic achievement.

Is anyone surprised that the nation’s “#1 high school” is located in the middle of the swamp?

These people are narcissistic and utterly lacking in humility. They truly worship themselves.

Republican politicians need to make a big issue out of this. Nobody wants an affirmative action dentist, surgeon, architect, computer tech etc.

So what is the point? Why not just give them the diploma and send them on the way. If merit doesn’t matter for acceptance why should they care about learning anything.

The overton window has shifted from “Merit Based” to “Outcome Based”.

So if there are not a bunch of minority high IQ people, it is racism.

I will miss indoor plumbing and readily available food. Well, not for long at this rate but I will miss them.

The principal lamented in an email on June 12 that there were “so few black and brown children” at the school.

So go to those "few black and brown children" and find out why/how they made it into the school. Once you gather that information, then have others emulate what they did.

Or is it that the information won't fit the leftist agenda, like "study hard" and "stay out of trouble"?

When did this school become the "Nation’s No. 1 High School"?

I never even heard of it. I know the NYC specialized schools (Bronx Science, Stuyvesant, and Brooklyn Tech) at least used to be considered among the best. (My wife went to Bx Science.) The high school I went to (The Wheatley School) has been ranked No. 1 by some national magazine(s) (based upon student AP Test Scores, I think).

I actually support this move, because "T.J." is dominated by the children of Indian and Chinese "immigrants" in Virginia on H1-B, CPT and other visas.

I can't stand those scumbags who steal American jobs while sucking at the taxpayer's teat, and who vote 80%+ Democrat.

Let the poor Black kids have access for a change.

Once again I'm reminded of a video I saw some time ago.Later in the day when BillyBob had his heart surgery (it was at Cornell or Columbia IIRC) the physicians and surgeons involved in his care (about a half dozen IIRC) held a press conference telling the world that everything went swimmingly.

Every one of them was a white guy and appeared to me to be at least in their 50s...every one had gray or white hair.

It's clear that BillyBob isn't a big fan of diversity when his life is on the line.

Sometimes history and the course of life is so radically changed by what seems a momentary occurrence at the time: In retrospect and with current events, it seems the death of George Floyd is the equivalent to this country of what the death of Arch Duke Ferdinand was to Europe in 1914: The spark that changed the world that they knew vs Floyd’s death being the spark that changed the country we knew. And not for the better in our case.

Why not just do what they really want to do? take all of Whitey’s money and property and give it to non-Whitey. That is and has been their intention all along.

Well, they might as well change the name of the Thomas Jefferson school while they’re at it, since they have guaranteed he is now rolling in his grave.

It wont be the number one high school for much longer.
A more sane, less woke, more merit based establishment will take over the number one spot in next to no time.
No one stays at number one forever. Nice knowing ya. Buh Bye.
