#2 Didn't the Fairfax school board vote last week to change the name of Thomas Jefferson High School?

Not named after Jefferson, no need for meritocracy!

#4 Legislated to serve academically gifted and advanced students. The school board plans to replace the testing with a lottery or subjective selection process akin to a popularity contest.

This has been going on since at least 30 years. In most cities, a gifted and a talented school within a school was set up in a failing school district (read minority) to bring the average scores up in the district. Basically putting the gifted kids in danger to make the school district administrators look good.

What was different about TomJeff is that the gifted had a school to themselves, isolating them from the budding thugs. All good things must be destroyed in Woke America.

#5 I live in Northern Virginia and have been hearing about the recent silliness associated with the gifted school. Sadly the admissions previously were blind (no name, race or gender) only test scores. Can it truly be considered a gifted school In the future and what about the small number of minority students that earned their way in?
