Well I hope I'm allowed to talk about this here. I can't really think of anywhere else to broach this topic. I don't want to spread doom and gloom. At the same time, I've predicted this for years. The woke have come for the gifted. As we can see in this series of 3 articles with the heading "Gifted Education's Race Problem".

Can someone come up with a way to frame this? That can fit in a 170 character tweet? That passes a focus group?

It all just makes me feel like, the gifted, the kid, the parents, we are on our own. Society is not going to help us. Quite the opposite in fact. At least for the foreseeable time frame of our childrens' childhoods.

My kids are both DYS. But our local DYS google group, despite having 300 members, has few posts. Resource hoarding is big in our area. Better not discuss things lest other parents find your tutor or class and take your kids spot at Stanford. Even within gifted we lack community.
