I get it: you don't like the piece. Do you have any substantive and specific criticisms of it? For instance, can you give an example of what you call a "logical gotcha" in the piece, and demonstrate why it is a "logical gotcha" (and, for that matter, why "logical gotchas" are bad)? What you have written here is basically just name calling.

> For you have been taught that we must have as much diversity as possible and that equality means that everyone must be made equal. [...] So when you say that we should have diversity and equality you are saying we should have difference and sameness. That is incoherent, by itself. This is a strawman argument - the rhetoric only works if you already agree with the author's belief that a statistically significant proportion of students desire literal equality (as satirized in Harrison Bergeron) instead of social equity.

  > if you already agree with the author's belief that a statistically significant proportion of students desire literal equality Anecdotal, I know, but based on what I see in my kids's high-school classmates and from what I've heard from university professors I think that there is a good chance that a statistically significant proportion of students do desire literal equality.
