College Admission Hoax at TJ (Thomas Jefferson High School)

Not in my town. My boys, one just graduated, are at an all boys Catholic school that is now 20% Asian, mostly Indian or mixed Indian students, some Chinese. I suspect that since many are from interracial families the intensity is a bit less. Also, in Catholic schools you don’t get to tell the priests or brothers how to run a school.

Asian students are not a majority anywhere in this area but its a loud minority. The negative vibe has even damaged real estate values in a few towns because of the tension. Much of this is overblown but some parents simply don’t like the ways some schools have changed. It has been decades, many decades since there was large scale immigration in this area, so its a process.

I get a sense it’s getting better but not fast enough.
