Talk:T.M. Landry College Preparatory

Latest comment: 5 years ago by JBhistorian in topic Removing discussion of Will Stancil's op-ed

An investigative report in the NY Times today indicates that much of the information coming out of TM Landry is fraudulent. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/30/us/tm-landry-college-prep-black-students.html The information in this article needs to be verified and updated.

Plagiarism in "Transcript falsification allegations" section

edit

This new section "Transcript falsification allegations" is important, but it should be edited. Right now, it contains text directly copy-pasted from the New York Times article. This needs a rewrite. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JBhistorian (talkcontribs) 17:42, 30 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for catching that. I made the fix. Rklawton (talk) 17:58, 30 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

Removing discussion of Will Stancil's op-ed

edit

Recently, a paragraph was added to the article referencing Will Stancil's op-ed in The Atlantic in which the author talks about what he calls a "breakdown" of the college admissions process at top-tier schools. Although Stancil uses the T.M. Landry story as an entry point into his opinion piece, he does not report any new factual information about T.M. Landry. Thus, a discussion of Stancil's opinions about the American college admissions process is not appropriate for this Wikipedia article about T.M. Landry. I am removing this from the article. --JBhistorian (talk) 14:35, 15 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
