The short-sightedness is Remarkable. Unless the entire world and every classroom hold to such a standard, than this simply widens an already uncomfortably wide Multi-Modal Distribution. We live in a global economy and compete in one. Artificially holding your community back just takes away opportunities from them and gives them to another group. Do you think the affluent families of the world are gonna stop teaching their kids math from a young age? Equity at any cost is a remarkably dumb idea. And it has an obvious trivial solution. All people live in abject poverty, despair, disease.. equally. Only a sociopath would consider that a viable solution. This reminds me of “There are some ideas so absurd that only an intellectual could believe them”
