Supreme Court asked to review Virginia school's admissions policy after appeals court ruling on race-neutral changes

A parents group alleges Thomas Jefferson High School's new admissions policy discriminates against Asian American applicants.
The school eliminated standardized test requirements, capped middle school admissions, and guaranteed top students seats in an effort to increase diversity.
A district judge initially ruled the policy unconstitutional, but the appeals court reversed that decision, saying there was no intent to discriminate.
The parents group argues the policy achieves discriminatory results through race-neutral means, conflicting with the Supreme Court's ruling against affirmative action.
The outcome could affect the use of race-neutral policies to increase diversity in both K-12 schools and college admissions nationwide.
