Virginia AG JasonMiyaresVA, a Republican elected along with Gov. GlennYoungkin 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."
"Up until last year, the school used a merit-based admissions process to select students," Miyares said in the readout, adding that communications between members of the Fairfax County School Board"confirmed the discriminatory purpose of this policy change." A district judge ruled in February that the admissions process at the high school violated federal law by discriminating against Asian American students, but late last month, the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 that the school's admissions policy could remain in place.
