Miyares wants U.S. agencies to intervene in Va. magnet school's admissions
The admissions process at Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology was challenged again this week as Virginia's attorney general and an activist group aimed to revive a debate over whether the policy unfairly discriminates against Asian American students.
Attorney General Jason S. Miyares (R) on Wednesday said that his office had completed a two-year investigation into the admissions process at Thomas Jefferson, the prestigious Northern Virginia magnet school locally known as TJ. He said the probe found that the Fairfax County district's decision to switch to a more holistic admissions policy violated the Virginia Human Rights Act and the federal Civil Rights Act.

'The committee is willing to work with you,' House Armed Services Committee Chairman Rep. Mike D. Rogers (R-Alabama) told Army Secretary Daniel P. Driscoll, who was joined at the hearing by Gen. Randy A. George, the Army chief of staff. 'But we need to see your math. When can we expect the full details of exactly what you're proposing?'
