they are probably not pretending to be unintelligent and not knowledgeable they actually really are that insipid.
Most forum participants, while intelligent, would not have known about gifted or 2e unless these issues manifested themselves in our families. Similarly teachers (and even doctors) who may be experts in their fields may be unaware of gifted or 2e.

Ultimately raising awareness through advocacy may be more effective than negatively labeling those who are unaware (which may be seen as smacking the oobleck with a spoon).

people rave about this district. How talented the teachers are, how "fabulous" they are.
Most children's educational needs may be well served; gifted kids and 2e kids are a very small minority.
