Leftists at “woke’ TJ High School hid from high achievers that they won Merit Scholarships

[Lisa558]

You might remember the ultra-competitive Thomas Jefferson School of Science & Technology from last year: they didn’t like that so many Asians were acing the entrance exam and not enough blacks were scoring high enough to get in, so they eliminated the test.

Now, in the latest example of punishing the best and brightest, it comes out that they did not let students know they won Merit Scholarships - thus not only depriving them from the satisfaction of a job well done but the opportunity to apply for Merit Scholarships spots at college.

Why? Because in the upside-down world of leftism, it was more important to not “hurt the feelings” of the less accomplished students who didn’t win.

Achievement is racist.

When I was in high school, I never felt bad if someone had better grades than me.

Bluest area in Virginia, why are you surprised?

Me, I don't have too many shits to give since the tiger moms fussing about it voted for exactly what they got.

No, radical blacks and leftists are racist. Asians did nothing wrong.

They worked hard and got good grades.
That made the students of color look bad.
So that's racist.

You need to put the /s in there for sarcasm. Some people might think you’re serious.

At least, that is what our kids are being taught in every way these days.

I hope not.

Because it shows the goal of leftist thinking in which high achievement is suppressed rather than encouraged and applauded. it is happening at the high school in liberal Northern Virginia, run by a liberal board.

 

[Lisa558]

I hope not.

Leftists are reading this.

Leftists are reading this.

You're right, leftists are morons.

 

[Polishprince]

I don't get it. The brothers publicized it to anyone who would listen when any of us students excelled and achieved at anything.

But of course, we were privately owned and operated, and relied on a good reputation to get kids to voluntarily matriculate. This school is a Government Facility, so they are free to promote mediocrity. I guess the schools's motto is "Pursuing Average"

Asians bust their asses in Math and Science and kick the shit out of Whites, Blacks, and Latinos. Blacks are winning in the CRT and Woke subjects.
