This has nothing to do with the students and everything to do with socialist adults.
Having gifted students is a giant, blinking ad for the reality that we are not all the same. So it has to go.
Blaming the “affluent” for ruining/whitening the gifted program doesn’t get past the first set questions. Because the affluent can relocate or choose private schools; then what?
These “educators” would rather drown the intelligence of black kids than be forced to acknowledge that there are others that are smarter. Especially if those others are white.
That’s true, the affluent can send their kids to better schools, or schools for gifted students, so all the dems are doing is hurting middle class students.
