A federal judge approved an anti-discrimination lawsuit against one of the top high schools in the U.S. on Friday, knocking the school’s claim that its admissions practices are race-neutral.
In March, a parents’ group composed mostly of Asian Americans filed a lawsuit against Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology (TJ), located in northern Virginia and ranked best U.S. public high school last month by U.S. News and World Report. The parents’ group, called the Coalition for TJ, alleged that the high school’s new admissions policy disadvantages Asian American students against other applicants.
