The article in the OP had nothing to do with this idea. It was about parental IQ, income, and SAT scores. Murray was summarizing a study that found that parental IQ is a better predictor of Little Johnny's SAT score than parental income.

Given the very large industry built around SAT prep and the frequent claims that mom and dad paid Johnny's way to high scores, I would think this topic would be of more interest here than rehashing the same hackneyed points of view.
