Why Is The Left Waging A War On ‘Gifted’ Children?

The libs who run public schools all send their kids to private schools.

Could be. I know my 3rd grade teacher fought against me being tested, she said there were no gifted kids. Could be professional jealousy too, not liking that some teachers get to work with the smart kids. It’s probably that leveling though. Way back in 1972 Jethro Tull snuck the lyric “we are geared to the average rather than the exceptional”.

[hoosierham]

Then there are parents who ridiculed the gifted child and made sure to tell them “you’re not better than anybody...”

[Borges]

It’s egalitarian notion - that by taking gifted kids out of regular classes they are not letting the other kids learn from them. That it hurts everyone else basically.

[enduserindy]

Like all things the liberals want to set the bar at the lowest common denominator for everyone not in the ruling class.

[discostu]

Of course the gifted kids are usually the class clowns distracting everybody cause they’re bored. Not to mention them getting hated for screwing up the curve.

[Let's Roll]

Obviously STUPID is easier to brain wash and the left’s future competition will come from the ranks of the gifted.

Probably started around the time the peanut farmer created the Department of Education.

Smart people who are decently educated are a threat to the Democrat party.

Congrats on smart kids! They chose their parents well!

Because white liberal "elites" don't want high IQ middle-class and working-class kids competing with their 'not so bright' private school brats (example:Hunter Biden & most of the 'talent' on MSNBC and CNN)

White liberal 'elites' can once again USE the black community as a battering ram against the intelligent and hard working kids OF ALL RACES by making it an 'equity' issue. This way the bright kids don't challenge their 'ELITE' brats and blacks can feel resentment and anger WHILE staying on the democrat plantation...

"When the bigs figure it out he will be in tall cotton for sure."

Congratulations on your son. Now, I thought that cotton was a racist word?

Eliminating gifted and talented programs will make the US weaker, stupider, more insecure, and sicker for generations to come!!!!

Those who advocate such elimination are our WORST enemy—WORSE than communist China, and MUCH worse than many imagine Russia to be!!!!

“Why Is The Left Waging A War On ‘Gifted’ Children?”

Because this is the way the Left addresses issues. They do not try to raise all boats, they pull everyone down to the lowest level. That way, everyone is a victim.

No blue ribbons for you. You’ll get a participation ribbon just like that thug Spaz Dawg who only shows up to cause trouble and hasn’t handed in his homework since 2nd grade.
