I think that Kurt Vonnegut's story "Harrison Bergeron" will eventually be a reality. The gifted will be forced to wear devices that make them less so in order to make everyone equal. Sounds like something libs would really go for.

I applaud these parents. They have chosen to fight the educational drift to mediocrity. I was shocked once to read in a local paper that a teacher was complaining about gifted classes because they made the educational gap between gifted/nongifted wider. We need to educate each student to achieve his maximum potential, not try to make them all equal.
