> 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.
