However, a different form of racial exclusion comes to the surface when we read an article titled \u201cGifted Ethnic Minority Students and Academic Achievement: A Meta-Analysis\u201d. This article boils down the prejudice encountered in day to day life and centers on discrimination encountereed in the classroom. A study was conducted in order to investigate racial bias against minorities being chosen for gifted education programs. It has been a constant theme of teachers overlooking educated minority students and not being able to depict them from other students. With a general disregard for these students and a lack of representation in these programs, once they reach college, they find themselves falling behind tremendously and taking extra classes to keep up. This article&#8217;s main purpose is to highlight the academic differences between minority and regular students and explore the rates of academic success for those involved in the programs. With a school as big and diverse as Syracuse University it is important to allow minorities to take rigorous classes and to be encouraged to join leadership programs. The authors of this article attempted to convey how classroom and educational program diversity can help students with less opportunities excel and be allowed to flourish in these restricting environments. It is important to bring conversations like these to light and help spread awareness on making classrooms more welcoming spaces.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/journals-sagepub-com.libezproxy2.syr.edu\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/0016986216674556<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Providing equal representation for minorities has always been a growing concern the world has faced much discriminiction and hesitancy over providing opportunities to all races.
