The U.S. Department of Justice is investigating allegations of racial discrimination at Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology in Virginia, following a lawsuit filed by the Pacific Legal Foundation on behalf of a group of parents. The lawsuit claims that the school's new admissions policy, which eliminated standardized testing and implemented a more holistic review process, discriminates against Asian American students. The policy change resulted in a significant drop in the percentage of Asian American students admitted to the school, from 73% in the class of 2024 to 54% in the class of 2025.
