'Reservations' in USA....

  • Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology is ranked the best high school in the nation, and is known for churning out Ivy League students
  • The magnet school previously relied on a standardized admissions test to screen qualified students
  • But the Fairfax County Schools board in October 2020 changed the policy in an effort to strike balance in a school underrepresented by blacks and Hispanics
  • The new policy resulted in a nearly 20 percent dip in the school's Asian population 
  • The policy change is now the subject of a lawsuit that claims Asian Americans are unfairly being discriminated against 
  • An attorney for the district said the new policy is designed 'to give top students from every part of Fairfax County a meaningful opportunity to attend' the school

US is slowly turning into UK. people clamouring to get into institutions that signify merit, instead of actually working towards solving interesting problems and generally having a lot of fun and adventure.

people are so nakedly boring.

Its a sign of declining civilization - eg. UK, where people clamour to get into institutions that give them social status. There's no other way to get that status unless your kid is a genius. The less prestigious these institutions, the better society you'll be leaving for your kids. This is the world US has built.. keep blaming Dems for it.

anyway I think admissions in US universities are way too random, inspite of standardized tests.

actually standardized tests have been proven to not disadvantage poorer kids by much. But for some reason, US universities are doin away with it. which actually disadvantages poorer students of different racial backgrounds to give seats to richer people of colour.

especially asking for letters of recommendation, and extracurricular activity certificates, which are all very hard for poor people to procure.

I hope Indian parents dont feed racial poison to their kids who didn't get through to IVY schools.

Its not like the kids won't pick it up elsewhere, but I suspect Indian parents have the habit to be openly racist in dinner talks.

Same thing they did in adjacent Loudoun county- they also have a stem school.
