They claim that minority students increased representation in gifted programs after increased testing and linked to a paper.
They forgot to mention that the paper says IQ cutoffs were 130 for non-disadvantaged students vs 115 for poor/minority.
This is a standard deviation, 15% of people from a 100 IQ pop exceed this threshold.
The paper then goes on to say, with lower ovjective standards, the groups pass the subjective bar at equal rates.
The subjective bar being applied by a system so motivated to achieve proportional representation they altered cutoffs.
