NEW: JasonMiyaresVA launches civil rights investigation against Thomas Jefferson High School
In a Wednesday press conference, Miyares cited recent reports that the prestigious Virginia magnet school had withheld certificates from students who had been recognized as National Merit commended scholars, as well as the school's 2020 overhaul of its admissions process that substantially affected the number of Asian students admitted to the school.
“No student should be treated differently because of their race. Students at Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology are amongst the brightest in the nation, yet some have been punished in the name of ‘equity.’ Racism and race-based government decision making in any form is wrong and unlawful under Virginia’s Human Rights Act,” Miyares said in a statement.This is a breaking news story and will be updated.
