Parents of students at one of the nation's top-ranked high schools are demanding its principal be fired after she and other officials delayed informing students that they had qualified for a national award.
The decision by brass at Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology in Fairfax, Virginia, was reportedly part of a new school strategy meant to provide 'equal outcomes for every student, without exceptions.'
That is another way of describing current woke buzzword 'equity,' which prioritizes equal outcomes, instead of equal opportunities.
As a result of the deception, pupils whom had been named 'commended students' by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation purposely left in the dark as to not 'hurt the feelings of' other students.
Only learning of the distinction a few months ago in the fall, the student body and their families are irate - and were seen outside the school Friday airing their displeasure.
