Chess Team only open to GT students

Anonymous wrote:My 9yr old DD is GT and so I get the email inviting her to join the chess club at her school. It says it is only open to kids in the GT program. My DS 11 LOVES chess, and is very good but is not GT. I don't understand why chess would be open to GT students only. My GT kid has no interest in chess. She knows how to play and enjoys it. My non GT kid would love to be a part of a chess team and would do very well. Why would it not be open to anyone who is interested? I can't imagine there would be a ton of kids who do not know how to play signing up for a chess team.

Sign your GT kid up for the club, but send the non GT chess kid. Parent Trap it. ♟️

Based on what? Last I knew, not being identified as GT doesn't make one in a protected class
