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.
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.
