Virginia AG makes national debut in selective high school admissions case

Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares, a Republican elected along with Gov. Glenn Youngkin in November, is making his national debut as one of the leading challengers of selective admissions practices at Fairfax County’s Thomas Jefferson High School.

Miyares and 15 other attorneys general filed an amicus brief in the Supreme Court on Tuesday against admissions practices they claim dilute academic merit as a consideration and unfairly target “Asian-American students because of their race.”
