Virginia parent Asra Nomani called out Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology for allegedly delaying academic awards in the name of 'equity.'
"And this amazing mom named Shawna Yashar started asking questions, just like every parent's got to do," she continued."From issues of the drag queen story hours to indoctrination in the schools, this is another form of this race to the bottom that the schools are going through right now."delayed academic awards for years
, according to Nomani, because of its ploy to advocate"equal outcomes for every student, without exception." The school has even implemented a policy awarding students a 50% just for showing up to class, and teachers have eliminated zeroes entirely. The delayed awards in question are given by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation, which recognizes top-performing high schoolers nationwide. TJ received the 2022 honors in October but did not distribute them to students until a month later, after early-application deadlines had passed, according to Nomani.
"The school wanted to recognize students as individuals, not their achievements, as if the two had to be separated," she said.
