Daily Stormer The Most Censored Publication in History
Ann Bonitatibus, the now former principal
Oh wow, black people are stupid?
Who knew?
A prestigious public high school frequently ranked America’s best has slumped in rankings after implementing a DEI-focused admissions policy.
Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology fell to number 14 on the latest US News and World Report Rankings.
It held the top spot for years, but dipped to third place in 2023 and saw its ranking freefall in 2024, prompting the principal Dr. Ann Bonitatibus to stand down earlier this month.
Worried parents have said that the alarming drop is the result of an ‘equity’-focused admissions policy, which prioritizes equality of outcome rather than opportunity.
The policy aims to increase the number of black and Latino children at the school by axing standard tests in favor of a review process. Critics have said it has lowered academic standards and led to a reduction in Asian-American students.
Asra Nomani, a former Thomas Jefferson parent, had previously hailed the departure of Bonitatibus as being a ‘win’ for the school.
The journalist and author has been a vocal critic of the school leadership, the decline in the school’s rankings and the reduction in the number of National Merit semifinalists.
Speaking with DailyMail.com, she said: ‘The decline of Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology from No. 1 to No. 14 is emblematic of the dumbing down of America by activist school boards and administrators from northern Virginia to Massachusetts, Michigan and beyond, weaponizing the once well-intended concept of ‘equity’ to destroy academic excellence, merit and the American Dream.’
Remember when this high school deliberately screwed over its best students because equity or something?
Nomani, a first generation American-Indian Muslim, added: ‘To restore TJ’s excellence, it’s time to move from DEI—diversity, equity and inclusion—to MEI—merit, excellence, and intelligence, restoring values of equality, fairness and achievement.
‘This is about affirming diversity while re-committing to high standards that reward hard work and intellectual ambition, so TJ—and America—can once again be a beacon of excellence. ‘
Srilekha Palle, whose child attends the school, told Fox News: ‘What is a big deal if it falls down to 100, 1,000?
‘If you have that kind of attitude, then what are we teaching our kids? I think it is purely a reflection on leadership changes and leadership failure.’
…
Dr. Andrew Hayes, president of the TJ Alumni Action Group, who advocated for a more equitable admissions process told Fox the rankings were an ‘artificial measurement’.
Hayes said: ’14 is amazing. I think people who are complaining about that are spoiled or have pretty unrealistic expectations.’
#14 might not be bad, but dropping from #1 to #14 in just a couple of years is very, very bad.
What kind of doctor even is this guy if he can’t understand this?
