Let's not award these kids because they are white.

Several schools in Virginia withheld national merit awards from students because they are white or rather not black.

Discrimination is wrong regardless of your politics. What those schools did should result in dismissed administrators and principals.

Good. These white kids should learn that we don’t get any awards. Just go to work and pay for everybody else’s stuff and get hated for it like all the other white people

Weird. I’ve only seen schools announce the individual students name. Guess this place added race when announcing?

It's only unfair to oppress certain types of people. These do not fit the mold.

The schools that withheld awards from top-performing students included Annandale, West Potomac, John R. Lewis, Edison, Thomas Jefferson for Science and Technology, Westfield, and Langley High, according to the Daily Mail. Some of the schools, like Thomas Jefferson, eventually notified students but waited until after important deadlines for college scholarships had passed.


These kids should sue the frick out of the district. This is a huge deal for them and probably caused them to not go to colleges they wanted since they didn’t get certain scholarships/aid

So the VA governor is outraged at this, but is okay with the idea of removing the teaching of MLK from the elementary educational curriculum, but then includes it after getting caught trying to do the complete opposite.

no he won't



But when you go crying your grievances on how mistreated you are as a white guy.... I'll surely call you soft followed by that response

There is a separate National Merit Scholar program for blacks. Of course, the criteria is much lower and these black students are still eligible for the regular National Merit Scholar program.

I wonder if any of these schools had a student who was a black National Merit Scholar but not a regular National Merit Scholar, and, if so, were they notified?

Shouldn’t the kids and their families be notified of winning these awards directly? Why does it have to go to the schools first?

That's what they get for being born white.
