We(the USA) after the war came into Japan and helped with the formation of their new government, and economy. This is all in the history books, you know. Or do you

Ok I was about to gawk and call you names and stuff. Ok I agree with you about your definition of equality. Unfortunately, we all are not given an equal opportunity to succeed in life. People who make it out to succeed are commendable, but others cannot begin to find the loop to get through to afford them to succeed. If everyone succeeds, who will be left to work the slave roles?

And you have the Senate and the WH.

The government is 100% bipartisan when it comes to national security and have no problem passing laws, extending expirations with no debate and it's done within a few days.

So what part of "equality" are the Republicans in the House preventing here ?

Not everyone will succeed, that's a given in life. Creating an environment, though, where one may grow to be able to one day succeed; and giving them the proper tools that if they so choose to use, can.....well, that's a little bit of what a lot of liberals are speaking of, when one mentions "equality".

But you can only do so much.
As they say..You can lead a horse to water.....

Why is it all up to "conservatives" ?
We have a liberal, progressive government in place for 4 years and for the next 4 years.

Seems to me that the left think AA programs are the way to get to equality.
The right think that every man should stand on his own.

So once again for you providing an education ensures that all Americans have equality of opportunity?

Lol, Do you really believe that? That's the best answer you can come up with. Lol

The question is conservatives say not equality of outcome but equality of opportunity. This is what conservative say they value.

Again, all I ask is how conservatives go about ensuring equality of opportunity for all Americans, and you got nothing, because consevatives don't give a damn about equality of opportunity, they do nothing to ensure its occuring, they have zero policy ideas about its implementation because they are lying.

Whose responsibility is it to prepare one's self for life's hurdles?

So what is missing here ?
What is missing that there is no equality ?

Folks can slice it and dice it anyway they want but schools are merely a reflection of the communities they serve. You notice you rarely hear Asians and Jews complaining about the quality of the public schools. If the schools in their area are lacking in one way or another, they simply move or find ways to educate their children outside of the system (ie after school cram classes)
I suppose, I do think class size matters though. When you think about it, the teacher of the larger class has less time available for each student and it would be easier for students to slip through the cracks.

I'm not sure how you are coming to that conclusion. I've had some classes that had 17 students enrolled and some with 200, the larger class was larger precisely because the material wasn't nearly as intensive.

The government is all three branches(Executive, Legislative, Judicial). The Legislative has two components the House of Reps and the Senate. So, the liberals do not have complete control, and there are those republicans in the Senate that do their best to impede, liberal policies there....too. But, you know this already.

I see you keep ignoring my question since you can't answer it. List one single thing in our society that keeps people from being able to pursue their opportunities like everyone else.
