>> There’s little doubt that racism played a role in identifying children as gifted even though the label was based on supposedly objective criteria
> Why has the LA Times settled on racist teachers as the only reason…
Notice how the extracted quote (and the article itself) never actually accuses teachers of racism? The accusation only appears in your complaint.
Systemic racism can exist without overt individual racism.
Likewise, the article explicitly leaves open the possibility of other causes by simply assigning racism to “a role in” rather than to, as you claim, “the only reason”.
Your complaint (with false accusations) is, without further explanation, simply manufactured outrage.
