Equity: What it is, what it isn't, and why we need it in our schools (it's not CRT)

Build all the ramps you want. Helen Keller still won't see the game.

So, the part about the support each person needs means that she has Anne Sullivan describing the game to her.

Equity means the same result for everyone. There’s a school district in the Northwest giving everybody a high school diploma whether or not they passed all the required classes.

Equity means you don’t have to work a day in your life and you get paid the average income.

And that doesn't get into the actual meaning of the word which to put a fiscal value on something or in the case of humans, someones. We kind of sort of had a civil war partly because of that kind of thinking.

That is a misunderstanding of the concept. Everyone gets the support they need to succeed: not understanding the math, or history, doesn't equal success.

Government shouldn't be involved in 'helping' Success or Failure. . .cause 99% of the time it ends up being the latter!

Should schools be involved in helping kids succeed?

The metaphor that always stuck with me was 'equity is making sure everybody comes first in the race... including the people who trained professionally, the people who never ran before, and the people who refuse to participate'

That's a weird take on it.

Affirmative action works... just look at how well 0bama worked out...

I know you're upset that he won, but it was a free and fair election, both times.

I'm just glad he assassinated Bin Laden, just like they will Zolinsky when he outlives his usefulness

Bin Laden was a terrorist leader. Zelenskyy isn't

Bin Laden started as a CIA asset fighting the Soviets in Afganistan.
