Questions of intellectual giftedness became a battlefield for controversies over social inequality in West Germany in the 1980s. Educational practitioners and politicians argued that strengthening special education opportunities for intellectually gifted children and teenagers might further entrench inequalities in income and education. Yet proponents and parents who suspected their child might be exceptionally talented or intelligent tended to interpret giftedness rather in terms of human difference. The issue of special education for intellectually gifted children was central to political struggles in which collective paradigms of inequalities could be challenged in the name of more individualized interpretations of difference. The ascription of specific abilities and inabilities played a formative role in this process.
