"What on earth is "workers' physics" or "Aryan physics"...? "
Well, Einstein's work was [in Germany of 1930's] regarded as "non-Aryan physics". Genetics, primitive as it was at the time, was for a while considered "bourgeois mendelism/morganism" in the Soviet Union of thucking memory. Instead the "proletarian Michurinite theory of heredity" was pushed. Here and now we have creationism in all its flavors. This is what is to be expected when an ideology tries to push itself where it does not belong - one gets PC science.

Given your reference to "Aryan physics" and your later remark about the "Brown decision," in addition to previous threads I remember on the "Bell Curve", I think a guess that you're a white supremacist is not too far-fetched. Am I correct? (If I'm wrong, I apologize for any offense).

As a parent, I have come to realize that a child's intelligence is the result of his or her upbringing. I believe genetics has very little to do with it. But I'm not interested in debating that issue. I just want to point out that the idea of placing people into "groups", whether by "IQ", "race", or any characteristic, and then forcing other taxpayers to educate the chosen ones better than the others is NOT in line with conservative thinking.

If a high I.Q. is hereditary, then the parents of a child with a high I.Q. must be as intelligent as the child, and they are probably successful and financially stable. They would be able to afford to purchase a superior education on the free market. If they wanted to associate only with certain people, they would be free to do so.

Out here, on the free market, which is where homeschooling exists, my family can associate freely with whomever we choose. There is a support group for every type of family out here, and these groups can be as inclusive or exclusive as we like. I strongly prefer all-inclusive but conservative groups. I happen to know of a child considered a "genius" who is being homeschooled. If all education were sold on the free market, the "geniuses" could get together and form their own exclusive schools. Meanwhile, everyone else wouldn't be forced to pay for them, and we each could educate our own children as we see fit.
