...as it should be. If the privileged keep playing their privilege games while neglecting equity, society does not work.

- TheFreim 4y agoThe greatest societies, even or own if it can still be considered great, were not built on the lowest common denominator, they were built to push up, above and beyond, the best of the best.

- TheFreim 4y agoNot focusing on the lowest common denominator, thus pulling the rest of society down, is not the same as enslaving people.
- mistrial9 4y agoyou are badly over-generalizing; there was always strenuous conflict over slaves and slave labor. Specifically why it was "states" legally. What is new to me is the extent to which indentured servitude was practiced in Central Asia; no doubt people brought their histories with them to the USA.

- seanmcdirmid 4y agoPrivileged kids have options so they leave the school to somewhere else, causing less equity, not more. Without a law to force those kids to stay where they are, what can society do? In that case, parents are much more interested in a "raise all boats" story rather than a "raise boats that were lower at the expense of boats that were higher."

Equity is the goal for one ideology, not for the vast majority of Americans. It's fine for that to be your goal, but you should understand that it isn't for most others and that they're going to act accordingly. When you aim to take away from them and their children, even if it's well intentioned and justified by your belief system, many are going to flee.
- kodyo 4y agoMost parents are not going to artificially cripple their kids out of some charitable sense of equity. Decisions about how to raise your kids is where the DEI rubber hits the road.
