  • Comments on an article by Scott J. Peters (see record 2022-20183-002). Peters’ correctly argues that while racism negatively affects students of color, psychometric bias is not the primary cause for racial disparities in gifted identification. However, the conclusion that “the existence of disproportionality does not make gifted services inherently racist,” does not follow. Any system that predictably results in racial disparity is contributing to systemic racism even without test bias. Given the history of racism in gifted education, radical change is needed. Hoping small shifts in identification strategy will lead to any meaningful real change is wishful thinking that is not supported by past efforts. Racism has proven to be so pernicious because it is able to continue despite the good intentions of kind people. The question cannot be, how do we mitigate bias in identification. The burden of proof is on advocates of gifted education to demonstrate how identification supports racial equity. In absence of this demonstration, we need to let go of identification. Instead, gifted education can embrace strategies that address the problems gifted students face, such as appropriate challenge, but address those problems in ways that truly prioritizes centering racial equity.
