I'm still reading through, but this stuck out "Gifted education programs, for example, receive little more than 1/1000 of the federal funding special education programs receive." Is that per student or overall? It's much more meaningful if it's per student in the program, less so if there are 1/500 as many student in GT programs than special ed. Depending on which, you're either saying "why don't these GT kids get more funding" or "we need to grow GT programs to cover more students".
And your response to the racial and ethnic imbalance that is sure to result from segregating school kids based on IQ? How are you going to justify classes filled with Asians (East and South) and whites, with a smattering of Latinos, and almost no blacks? Take your time, I'll wait...but I doubt "let the chips fall where they may" is gonna do the trick.
