Asian American parent rebukes Virginia school board for admissions policy changes

A former Wall Street Journal writer and parent of a Fairfax County, Virginia, public school student criticized the school board for supporting the elimination of a race-blind admissions policy at the county’s Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology.

Asra Nomani, the vice president of the advocacy group Parents Defending Freedom and the mother of a senior at the magnet school, said members ignored parents’ concerns about such a change.
