Hot take alert: as early as the 80s, “gifted” classes were recognized as a tool of structural racism. If you got put in “gifted” classes it’s coz your parents taught you to obey & please. All children are gifted, and it’s sort of pathetic to be an adult still believing otherwise. https://twitter.com/icedcitruss/status/1259998739747319808">https://twitter.com/icedcitru...

Like, I feel this tweet and I relate to it but identifying as a “gifted” child into adulthood is a little on the nose in terms of carrying around a backpack of invisible privilege.
