An op-ed from the parent of a graduate of Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology in Alexandria, Virginia, ranked the No. 1 public high school in America, is accusing administrators of purging Asian-American students over a lack of diversity at the school:

You see, Asian-Americans are the “wrong kind of minority for school officials”:
“The student body is about 80 percent minority, but the wrong kind of minority for school officials…” https://t.co/BO2BNyvgwJ

Mission accomplished?
"School district officials announced that, as a result of their new admissions system, they slashed the percentage of Asian students admitted to Thomas Jefferson High School to 54 percent this year from 73 percent last year."@AsraNomani@ErinWilcoxPLFhttps://t.co/nP74EDNgU9 pic.twitter.com/1f8OIPVVy9

And this drop isn’t because “they’re less qualified; it’s dropping because the school has rejiggered the process to make race a factor in the decisions”:

This is insane:
For every student admitted because of discrimination based on race, another is pushed out the door. There is always a victim of “affirmative action” and while this policy will eventually be found to be unconstitutional there will be no justice for them. https://t.co/Uoj2Dddcew

And it’s happening elsewhere, too. “It’s up to parents to draw a line in the sand”:
Our battle in northern Virginia is not just a local dispute between parents and school administrators at one high school. The use of race in K-12 school admissions is part of a much wider national campaign by education officials intoxicated by the fashionable ideology of critical race theory taking it upon themselves to undermine the meritocratic system of achievement at schools from San Francisco to New York City and Boston. Under the cover of fighting against discrimination and injustice, they’re launching a new era of discrimination and injustice. It’s up to parents to draw a line in the sand against this abuse of power.
Well, not just parents. Where’s the DOJ on this obvious racism?
