Not just California and not just under the banner of "equity" either. The push for equity (meaning equality of outcomes as opposed to equality of opportunity) comes under many different brands - social justice, critical race theory (CRT), diversity/equity/inclusion (DEI), cultural competence, cultural responsiveness, and so on. Activists across the country have been pushing these agendas for years, building up to this point where any difference in performance or talent or potential is erased. Apart from California: Seattle is trying to get rid of its gifted education programs (https://reason.com/2020/03/26/seattles-school-system-has-begun-dismantling-its-gifted-programs/ https://reason.com/2020/03/26/seattles-school-system-has-beg...), Virginia is trying to eliminate accelerated math courses (https://www.foxnews.com/us/virginia-accelerated-math-courses-equity https://www.foxnews.com/us/virginia-accelerated-math-courses...), San Francisco ended merit-based admissions at its highest performing school (https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/S-F-school-board-strips-Lowell-High-of-its-15938565.php https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/S-F-school-board...), and more. Let's also not forget the corruption of school curricula to teach students activism and progressive politics, such as with Seattle's Ethnic Studies math program (https://reason.com/2019/10/22/seattle-math-oppressive-cultural-woke/ https://reason.com/2019/10/22/seattle-math-oppressive-cultur...). It's not just schools either. The adoption of DEI policies has been widespread, ranging from government agencies to private companies to nonprofits. For example, the National Education Association (NEA), the largest teacher's union and largest union in the US, holds explicit left-biased activist stances and officially advocates for social justice agendas (https://www.nea.org/advocating-for-change/racial-social-justice https://www.nea.org/advocating-for-change/racial-social-just...). Tech companies like Microsoft have set explicit race-based hiring goals that are illegal (https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2020/10/06/microsoft-diversity-african-americans-black-department-of-labor-trump-george-floyd/5902478002/ https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2020/10/06/microsoft-div...). And Biden recently issued an executive order to implement equity programs across his administration (https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2021/01/20/executive-order-advancing-racial-equity-and-support-for-underserved-communities-through-the-federal-government/ https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-action...).
