Because only rich white kids are "truly gifted" :roll:

In the US as a whole whites score about 15 points higher on IQ tests than blacks; don't bother to get upset, it's a well known and established fact.  Based on NAEP scores, the black white gap in DC is signicantly larger than any state; the blacks in DC tend to score significantly below blacks in the US in general, and whites significantly above.  If you used an IQ test to determine entry then yes, it would be almost completely white if a significant number of the white families in DC went public instead of private.[/quote]

You've posted this before. Please tell me who takes their kids to receive IQ testing?  And who's administering these test?   I've never found the need to have my DC testing and they are doing great academically. I'm not being snarky, but I honestly don't know of very many Black or Hispanic people paying to have their DC tested for IQ. Is it a white thing?  [/quote]
