PSA: The Entire Gifted World is for Super Far Left Liberals Only

When Anders was attending a summer camp at the age of 6 or so, his counselor told me that he did not belong at regular summer camps, and that I needed to look into gifted camps for him. And so began a long journey into this entire world of exclusive activities for high IQ children. 

I knew very little about IQ when I began this journey. It's been fascinating. If you consider yourself or your child "bright" or "smart" I highly recommend looking into it as there are many personality traits of gifted people that regular people interpret incorrectly. (For example, throughout my life I was often accused of being ADHD and/or autistic. I don't think I am either, not that it matters, but coming across that way to normies is apparently... normal for high IQ people. It's good to know. I am so thankful my parents didn't medicate me.) 

Anyway, Anders was very excited about going to summer camps full of other kids as smart as he is, so I did all the obnoxious paperwork required for him to be admitted into the three main gifted kid programs--

Center for Talented Youth at John's Hopkins

Davidson Young Scholars

Summer Institute for the Gifted

Unfortunately as soon as he was admitted Covid hit and everything was canceled for the next two years. This summer it was finally a possibility that he would get to try out these programs. Except it's not. Because the CTY's classes are completely woke, and there is no way I am sending Anders to any of those ever. DYS and SIG programs are only open to the vaccine sheep. They also signal wokeness in that the emails I receive from them specify pronouns.

I attended some Zoom parent meetings for the above groups just to see if I was making unfair assumptions about their intolerance of any viewpoints other than extreme far leftism, and I wasn't. I was also shocked to find that most parents wanted to do nothing but complain about their kids excessive video game playing and lack of interest in real life. I couldn't relate at all.

There is also a purely social opportunity called PG Retreat (profoundly gifted retreat) but their focus is on tolerating all kinds of insane behaviors but not those behaviors normal to conservatives or Christians.

So... there is apparently no community for bright children who are not vaccinated and into gender fluidity. Just thought I would give you the heads up so you don't waste your time applying to these groups....
