This is like in the X-Men comics. Professor Xavier had a school named "School for Gifted Youngsters". They wanted kids with special abilities to use them for their own agendas.

This is an interesting point I hadn't really thought of or connected dots. I do remember in our G&T that some of the kids were wildly un-exceptional. While most of the kids were amongst the highest achievers, there were a few standouts that made me question why they were calling it gifted and talented. ie: this kid is an idiot and certainly not gifted why am I here, this program is dumb. It caused me some anxiety and made me believe the program was just another dumb school waste of time. Sometimes they call low functioning children "Gifted" or "Special" as a nice way to say ret\*rded.
