IQ is a Handbag

Another quote from the same Engel article:

Our next generation of intellectual elites may not be smarter than the last one, but they're likely to be ruder and more ruthless, given that they're being raised, in many cases, by new-money parents who turned nursery schools into "pre-schools" that are harder to get into and cost more than a four-year college, and who threaten lawsuits when the school deems junior not smart enough for the gifted-and-talented program. Intelligence, it seems, is the new Gucci.
