#SupremeCourt declines to hear challenge to #Virginia high school’s ‘#raceneutral’ admissions policy.

The Supreme Court declined Tuesday to hear a challenge to a top Virginia high school’s “race-neutral” admissions policy that critics say discriminates against Asian American students.
The case raised several key questions about the court’s landmark ruling last year invalidating #affirmativeaction policies at the nation’s #colleges and #universities. By declining to take the appeal, the Supreme Court left in place a lower-court ruling that sided with the school.
#Conservative #Justices #SamuelAlito and #ClarenceThomas said they would have taken up the case.
“The court’s willingness to swallow the aberrant decision below is hard to understand,” Alito wrote in a dissent that was joined by Thomas. “We should wipe the decision off the books, and because the Court refuses to do so, I must respectfully dissent.”
#FairfaxCounty #SchoolBoard chair #KarlFrisch said in a statement Tuesday that the board has “long believed that the new admissions process is both constitutional and in the best interest of all of our students.”
The controversy arises from an admissions policy adopted by the highly selective #ThomasJeffersonHighSchool for Science and Technology in 2020 to increase diversity. The policy sought “to mitigate socioeconomic obstacles faced by students of all races” to ensure disadvantaged students were admitted to the school, whose student body was historically comprised of students from affluent areas.
Admissions were previously driven largely by standardized tests. Under the new plan, the school admitted a small share of the highest-performing students from each middle school in the county. One hundred slots were separately reserved “for the highest-evaluated applicants overall, regardless of where they attend middle school.”
A group of parents in #FairfaxCountyVirginia, sued the school board in 2021, alleging the new policy violated the #Constitution’s Equal Protection Clause because it sought to balance the student body’s racial makeup by “excluding Asian Americans.” Asian-American students had comprised 70% of enrollment before the changes. The school told the court that while that number initially fell, it rose to 62% in 2023.
“A new species of #racialdiscrimination has been spreading through some of our largest public school systems,” the school’s challengers, called the Coalition for TJ, told the court. “Like the #discrimination this court invalidated (in colleges last year), it primarily targets Asian-American students.”
The Supreme Court last year threw out policies used by #Harvard and the University of #NorthCarolina that considered race as one of many factors in admissions, a standard that had been approved by previous precedents. But the decision didn’t address whether schools could consider socio-economic or geographic factors as a proxy for race.
A federal judge in 2022 ordered the #ThomasJefferson school to stop using the new admissions policy, ruling that it was “racially discriminatory.”
But a divided panel of the federal appeals court in #Richmond later reversed, saying that the policy did not disparately impact #AsianAmerican students and that the challengers couldn’t establish that it was adopted with discriminatory intent.

🗞️Stay tuned for updates
I can't help but think about the future of the 350,000 mostly Black and brown children who lost a parent/caretaker to Covid as I digest the news that SCOTUS has killed affirmative action. We really don't want these kids to succeed, do we 'Merica?
@MarkedByCovid
I’ve stated all along, in a disease process littered w/ #RacialHealthDisparities when we create policies that are #RaceNeutral the outcome will be the unfair burden placed right back on those who are ALREADY DYING at higher rates. Our kids included

Before #Pandemic 1 in 9 #BlackChildren experienced #FosterCare
W/ #COVID 175,000 #Children have lost a parent/grandparent & are complete #Orphans or threatening to be so, 65% of those #kids being #RacialMinorities
And YET #Policies remain #RaceNeutral…further limiting #Access
When #RacialHealthDisparities are this stark, but policies remain #RaceNeutral then the policy itself is #Racist.
#Race is #IndependentRiskFactor in #COVIDdeath. It’s not due to #genetics, it’s due to #Redlining influencing #CommunityStructure, #LackOfAccess, #PolicyBias @CDCgov
Nearly every person who died of COVID-19 in D.C. since June was a Black resident, according to an analysis of DC Health data by https://t.co/3tKYI5JTjY. https://t.co/WuchfQniYI
And policies like @CDCgov #COVIDVaccinePrioritization contribute. We KNOW that #Race is an #IndependentRiskFactor for #Infection, #Hospitalization, & #Death, but #Race is not #Prioritized.
And a #RaceNeutral policy in setting of #RacialHealthDisparities is #Prowhite in design.
If people can declare themselves #genderneutral, why can't we declare ourselves #raceneutral
What color are you sir I am not a color.I am #raceneutral & I should be able to apply for any benefits or special programs available to any race.Denying me these would be systemic bigotry
Another reminder, #RacialDemographics for 65yo and older:
🔹#WhiteAmericans: 77% 🔹#BlackAmericans: 9%
#BlackPeople don’t get the luxury of growing old in America.
The assertion that the #COVIDvaccine rollout was #RaceNeutral is a lie. It will contribute to #RacialDisparity
More than 70% of people 65 and older in the US have now received at least one dose of Covid vaccine. Great!

@carladmartin A #RaceNeutral policy in the setting of a disease process with #RacialHealthDisparities is by default #ProMajority. Not specifically prioritizing those most vulnerable selects for the most protected. This is the case for the #COVIDVaccine rollout, it is #ProWhite.
@oni_blackstock @GovNedLamont I talked about this with @AliVelshi last weekend. This #RaceNeutral approach of using #Age only as a criteria for #VaccineAllocation equates to being #ProWhite. #Equity was not considered to account for #RacialHealthDisparities

@AliVelshi Thank you, @AliVelshi, for amplifying the #MedicalInjustice that’s being carried out as #RacialHealthDisparities are not calculated into #VaccinePrioritization. By not doing so, it is not #RaceNeutral but is in effect #ProWhite. We can not allow this to be #TuskegeePartTwo.
We need #policies that invest deeply in communities of color, #lowincome communities & NOT #raceneutral because life is NOT race neutral. (paraphrasing @LucyAB_LIIF_CSO) #AspenFSPLive
COVID crisis is not #raceneutral. @aretana
Social reveal about our #communityvalues. Coming together across race and class, hard to do but is happening. Also people hoarding and blaming - different set of values.

@solidarity_is @BldingMovement
Allies, watch for the ways in which policies, rules, the "reopenings" are making things look #RaceNeutral. The power of the marketing messaging chips away at the white solidarity with #BIPOC movement...intentionally, but secretively.
With Mike Turter holding the flag the peloton roll out of Glenelg race neutral & head south towards Strathalbyn. 🚴🚴🚴🚴🚴

#HarvardTrial considers #RaceNeutral policies but false flag. Racism=a kind of thinking held by racists-sometimes conscious sometimes not-change the thinking transform the racist. @Fair_Admissions #DefendDiversity @AAJAla #Harvard #FBRParty @CNNOpinion https://t.co/UYoIZ83xsN
