US EditionThomas Jefferson High School’s admission policy doesn’t discriminate, court rules
- A federal appeals court in Virginia has upheld the constitutionality of a new admissions policy at Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology, which critics argue discriminates against Asian Americans.

- A dissenting judge criticized the majority opinion for failing to see the policy's clear desire for racial balancing, while proponents argue that efforts to increase diversity at the school are legitimate.
