Kinda feel for the students as this war among the adults rages around them….

Truth is the first casualty. Kids are the second.

Problem with a good story, the other side.

Is there a point? That racists have resources and people fighting racism and wanting the law applied equally and blindly to all have an uphill battle in fighting the soft bigotry of low expectations from white liberals with a guilt and white savior complex?
If so, I agree. -
Yeah…totally grassroots
Ignore that the website has Arnold and Porter legal backing.
Do you think they are paying their own money, or could it possibly be “pro bono” from the mega law firm?
How come it is a Delaware corp? And the IRS EIN info was returned to lawyers at Arnold & Porter?
Check out the filing history at the SCC and you can find 47 pages of Delaware entity info and policies. A mom and pop didn’t draw those up – a huge law firm did . I’d attach if permitted, but I don’t think possible. Here is a screenshot of the entity info from the SCC –

Oh my gosh!! And the dark money and law firms behind Pacific Legal Foundation and other Rightie groups are virtuous without signals. Beware the cracks in your glass houses. Boring.

I always know I am correct by my critics. As usual, the Leftist critics are rooting for the wrong team. They profess to love the little guy, but always root for the authoritarians… It’s almost like the Lefties are the fascists as they call everybody else a Nazi or fascist…
The parents of TJ are the Davids. Of course the issue has attracted amicus briefs from across the spectrum. It’s at the Supreme Court. It’s important. We seem to be back on the road to federalism and that might make the cases less contentious. Can’t wait until the Commerce clause is back in a box and Chevron deference is killed, along with all of the Griswold branch, and we’ll be a Republic again.
Anyway, two of the 3 amicus groups DHS cited were not exactly grass roots. They were astroturf Potemkin villages, backed by grifting Lefties to support racist discrimination because now Lefties love to judge by race (you know, white guilt, white savior, soft bigotry of low expectations, but makes me feel I am so good…and even better with other people’s money). Is the TJ Alumni group paying the Arnold & Porter bills or is it pro bono? Wanna bet?

Vital to the opinion eaters on this blog—which side has the most amici? Nomani’s iteration appeared to include all but the Mariana Islands.

They count to determine the winner, right?

Not anymore. They sank.

Only for the consumption of paper.

You’ve listed three groups but nothing about their positions on the matter. The Asian American Youth Leadership Empowerment and Development for Youth and Families link goes to a fundraising organization. Their website has no mention of why they support the school board. Hamkae Center is the Virginia affiliate of Nakasec https://nakasec.org/values, but again no explanation of what was in their filing. The newly formed TJ Alumni group say they went to TJ in the 90s and wouldn’t have been admitted today. The common thread among them is equity, a demographic balance without consideration of ability to make the most of a TJ education. Sounds like they’re advocating to replace qualified Asian students with less qualified Black, Hispanic and other Asian students.

What does that mean? Are they saying they are no longer as smart as they once were?
😉

Um, they went to college and turned 21. Of course they’re not as smart! Fridays kill brain cells.
If you need proof, ask how many of them admit their parents were right.

And the amici first prize for credibility, veracity, demography – not including legal merit – is…………ta da!!!

The links for the TJ Alumni group spell out pretty clearly their positions and why they support the school board. I interpret the statement by the former students that they would not be admitted today as meaning they would not have scored high enough on the standardized test. (The piece was written before the new process went into effect.) According to them, the TJ of the 1990s was “more generous” and took factors, other than the admissions test, into account. Their successes at TJ are illustrative of how such a program can succeed.
There are factors other than a high score on a standardized test that can indicate whether a student has what it takes to make the most of a TJ education.

IMO, Ms. Nomani’s side of the argument is more compelling. I side with her.
