Virginia Attorney General JasonMiyaresVA blasts 'woke racism' in Fairfax County Public Schools
"We're having this investigation of the Virginia Human Rights Act to determine whether there's a pattern and practice going on because equity without excellence is emptiness," Miyares said in the interview.
In addition to investigating the school district's failures to inform students of National Merit recognition, Miyares's office plans to investigate Thomas Jefferson High School's revised admissions protocols, which critics have said are discriminatory against Asian-American students.In his Fox interview, Miyares compared the treatment of Asian students to the treatment of Jewish students in the 1920s and 1930s by elite colleges and universities.
"What we've seen across the country is that Asian American students are [in] many ways treated the same way Jewish American students were treated in the 1920s and 1930s," Miyares said."We had elite institutions that determine, 'hey, we have too many Jewish American children in our schools. We're going to make sure we cap how many are allowed to attend.' And that's what you saw Ivy League schools and other schools do in the 1920s.
