The case takes on whether a virginia high school equity-based admission process is discriminatory. the decision will have major ramifications for colleges, affirmative action policy. thomas jefferson high school has been ranked the number one public school in the u.s. for years. recently the school board decided to scrap its longstanding admissions policy because it didn t think enough black and hispanic students were represented. it caused outrage with parents where the majority of the students are asian. what we found was an email that literally had a school board member saying they knew the process was anti-asian, lol. laughing out loud. and this little text message reveals exactly the problem that we re facing today.
