Imo the distinction between equalizing the opportunity and education gap on a national level versus a global level is a topic that is rarely properly debated. Each of us (or groups of us) have our closely held dogmas based on our personal experiences (or lack thereof) and don't really engage in understanding the opposite camp's narrative or logic. IMO either position is perfectly defensible. Helping those who are "your neighbors" (those who are more proximal to you) first is defensible, and so is helping those around the world catch up to the living standards of the developed West. What is not good is that we continue to mask pragmatic or moral decision making with irrational, illogical, emotionally charged positions, on both the left and the right. That, I wish would change.
