Last Friday morning, federal district court judge Claude Hilton issued an exciting ruling from the bench: despite the Fairfax County School Board’s urging, Judge Hilton refused to dismiss the Coalition for TJ’s lawsuit alleging that the School Board violated the Fourteenth Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause when it changed the admissions policy for Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology specifically so that fewer Asian-American students will be admitted.

Although the School Board claims the admissions policy changes are race-neutral and intended only to increase diversity at TJ, as the school is commonly known, Judge Hilton was skeptical: “Everybody knows the policy is not race-neutral, and that it’s designed to affect the racial composition of the school,” he said. “You can say all sorts of beautiful things while you’re doing others.”

This is a significant victory in the war against discriminatory public school admissions policies. It is the first time a court has held that allegations of a policy being facially race-neutral but still discriminatory are enough to state a claim for intentional discrimination against Asian-American students.
