It is not fair to other kids or parent(s) that don't read to their kids if you try to get your family a head start. People actually believe this and some politicians see this as viable. It's like saying it's not fair to teach your kid to change the oil in their car because other people don't bother, How did we get so screwed up and where will it end? Is having a loving family an unfair advantage? - ABC listen

I can't imagine anyone believes that. I can imagine people feel we should offer extra help to those kids who don't learn to change their oil from their family.
 
2015 so it's hardly "Newthink" whatever that is supposed to mean. And it's the opinion of one person.

It' also leads to other problems when the excuse for not achieving is that other kids have better families, and it's not our fault. The thinking is that the government can manage kids better than parents, a race to the bottom, like cutting off the legs of a table until it finally rests on the top but they are all equal. Yes, they believe this. That is when in the kids suspicion then distrust turns to hate when you not only her it from a dysfunctional parent and social media, but the the educators as well.
 
On this forum there are posters who argue that spelling correctly is racist.
Striving for perfection has always been a hallmark of American ethos, until now, why is that?
Is it the "dumbing down" of America?

Schools have always used the concept of Equity

Not just every child receives the exact same education….Equality

But those who need extra help, receive extra help…..Equity

It is relevant because this ideology is accelerating in political circles to solve the problems created by this wishful but empty belief that the population must be managed to save them from themselves. DEI, affirmative actions, hate this and hate that, underserved and overserved, all to reward poor performance and punish self improvement. Big sounding words, maybe well meaning but maybe not, this is our future. Kamala Harris, reparations, and guaranteed income - Washington Examiner

Like condemning people who wish to remain childless?

Vance calls them names out of love I suppose.

It's important because it shows a bit about how we got to where we are today because it seems that anything you do to give your kids an advantage in a completive world is claimed by the leftist "equal outcome" crowd to be an unfair (and usually "racist") advantage.

Someone did not just wake-up one day and think that DEI was a really good idea, it had been fermenting in the sick minds of leftists for a while.

Our country struggled with the concept of equality for most of our existence
The idea of equal access under the law.

Equity is just a simple concept of helping those who need help
 
An example of Equity is a trip to the Supermarket

Equality is everyone has equal access to parking spaces
Equity says handicapped shoppers have the closest spaces reserved for them

Equality is everyone has the use of the same shopping cart
Equity provides electric carts for those who need them

It is rather telling that you find the concepts of divert and inclusion to be the product of a sick mind.

Not sure what else anyone needs to know about you.

American Conservatism is built on the concept of white, male leadership.
Anything that challenges that is unAmerican

Many liberals 100% have this mind set. There are countless clips of democrat mothers expressing more concern for their daughter to have access to abortions if they are raped, then they are about protecting them for being raped in the 1st place.

Same thing with many democrat parents who expose their children to GBLT activism by taking them to Drag story time or GBLT pride events.
 
You simplified that issue. It's not that simple. We have been doing that for many decades. We are in decline, and/or many things have increased the costs of anything we do. Kamala is privileged in the first box her whole life. No matter her heritage. She is in the third box on abilities in the field she is in. Trump's agendas are good. There are endings to nations as they start new ways. Hope and change are total tyranny. Tell the Prog politicians to remove major portions of city, state, regional and federal criminal codes if we are free. They will not. Just like they had a chance to remove the Patriot Act, Homeland Security and make changes to the TSA. They are tyrants.
