I was in gifted classes as a kid in the 90s... here's why I think it was a secret CIA program Americans who were part of 'gifted and talented' education programs in the 1980s and 1990s believe they were part of a secret government intelligence program.
Some former GATE students argued that the program was tied to the CIA's Gateway Program that was developed in the 1980s to explore the limitations of human consciousness using sound, meditation and other techniques.
One woman, who claimed to be part of the program in the 1990s, shared a workbook she purportedly used during class, showing she was cracking codes and learning Russian.
