[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been a supporter of the public schools and have had a recent debate with my wife between public and private. But after reading this new initiative I am starting to lean more towards private schools. My [b]arguement[/b] was that if our kid is [b]truely[/b] gifted he could be removed from lower performing students and into the GT program. It seems though [b]polictically[/b] correct trumps logic in the public school system. I guess with the increase of minorities and decrease of whites in the area there is a demand to make the GT program's racial percentages equal to the county numbers regardless of achievement. UGHHH.

Among local school systems, Prince William County’s has taken perhaps the most aggressive policy on diversity in gifted classes. It mandates that the demographic composition of the gifted program reflect the overall racial and ethnic makeup of the school system. To do that, Prince William has amended its identification process to ensure that it finds gifted students from a variety of backgrounds.

The Fairfax County system and others in Northern Virginia have started an enrichment program that targets high-achieving minority students.
