“The Fairfax County School Board’s alleged decision to weigh race in TJ’s admissions decisions appears to be both contrary to the law and to the fundamental principle that students should be evaluated on their merit, not the color of their skin.” @EDSecMcMahon

In January 2023, Miyares launched an investigation after reports that race played a role in changes to the admissions policy at Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology disadvantaging Asian American students. wjla.com/news/local/fai…

74th Governor of Virginia Glenn Youngkin
Attorney General Miyares’ investigation confirms that in 2020 the Fairfax County School Board and administration engineered and executed an illegal admissions policy to discriminate against Asian Americans, denying the dreams of hardworking Virginia students simply because of their race. This calculated effort to illegally discriminate by the progressive left shocks the conscience and violates our deepest held values as Americans. There must be consequences for this ongoing violation of federal and state civil rights laws. I thank General Miyares and his team for referring this matter to federal authorities for further enforcement.

Earlier today, I informed FCPS that their admissions policy for Thomas Jefferson High School violated civil rights law. Discrimination -- especially in our public schools -- will not be ignored. wjla.com/news/local/att…

Thank you @JasonMiyaresVA for seeing your investigation into anti-Asian bigotry in admissions to Thomas Jefferson HS for Science and Technology through to this powerful and smooth handoff to @HarmeetKDhillon @AAGDhillon. Justice is in motion!
Jason Miyares@JasonMiyaresVA

My office found that FCPS knowingly and deliberately overhauled Thomas Jefferson High School’s merit-based admissions policy to reduce opportunities for Asian American students. I’ve referred this to @USEdGov and @TheJusticeDept for enforcement under federal civil rights law.
