The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined to temporarily block the admissions policy of a prestigious high school in northern Virginia, after the policy was accused of being discriminatory against Asian Americans.
The parent’s group, Coalition for TJ, asked the high court to temporarily suspend the admissions policy of the school while the case is being considered in lower courts.
The nine-member high court on Monday denied Coalition for TJ’s request and gave no explanation for doing so. Justices Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, and Clarence Thomas said in the brief court order they would have blocked the school’s admissions policy for now.
