Somehow in last few years equity has been promoted and even equated with equality.
They are different concepts.
Equal Opportunity is a universal goal that as a society we continue to strive towards even though is impossible to fully achieve.
Equalized Outcomes (Equity) Is a dystopian nightmare.
The idea that all possible differentials between humans can and should have the same outcomes is ludicrous.
I work in education and will give you an example of this nonsense. In a well to do district in Chicago they found that Black students do not do as well in AP Calculus. After years of intervention the district achieved growth and had a record number of black student now enrolled in AP Calculus. However after five years and despite the increase of black students it was still found that white and asian students got higher scores on the AP exam.
The district solution was to cancel AP Calculus and now it is only offered as a third party online course not taught by the school district.
Why was the goal for all groups to have the same test scores? Just absolute rubbish.
