Redstate Reports: Though nothing that happens in public school districts in Northern Virginia should shock people anymore, the outrage surrounding the revelation from angry parents over the last several weeks that some districts had for years been withholding National Merit Awards recognition information from students and their families – allegedly on grounds they didn’t want to hurt other students’ feelings – was so palpable that it didn’t take long for the Youngkin administration to spring into action.

As we previously reported, Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares has already launched an investigation into the matter in order to determine what happened and to find out whether or not the school systems in question violated the Virginia Human Rights Act, which states in part that “it is the policy of the Commonwealth to”:

“Safeguard all individuals within the Commonwealth from unlawful discrimination because of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, pregnancy, childbirth or related medical conditions, age, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, military status, or disability in places of public accommodation, including educational institutions and in real estate transactions”

According to multiple reports, many of the students impacted were Asian-American students.
