We're already seeing how equity is working in schools. They are dumbing down the curriculum. This brings the performance of high achievers down since the curriculum provides no challenge. They are making sure nobody fails. This brings the performance of low achievers up since they can get by pretty much doing nothing. It's trying to force the outcome to make it where everyone is performing at about the same level, which isn't how real life works.
We need to be challenging our top performers and providing opportunities for them to excel. We need to give failing grades to our low performers so they recognize they're behind everyone else, but at the same time encourage them to improve and get them the help they need to do so.
Some of the ways they're promoting equity in school:
2. Eliminate giving students a zero for late work.
3. Remove prerequisites for honors and Advanced Placement classes.
4. Move toward standards-based grading.
Show me a VP that is given a second thought, the last one came across like a plastic mannequin. Why is it assumed that a white male has always been the best choice, of course that's what almost always has been chosen. When the woman's movement began the same arguments were made about choosing a woman for a spot and here we are decades later saying the same thing again over the next assumed threat to the old boys club...
The progressive democrat voters gave Kamala a second thought when they booted her out of primaries because she wasn’t good enough for President.
Now Kamala is inches away from President seat (whenever Joe steps down) all thanks to her gender and race.

Your missing the point. Man, woman, black, white, Asian, Hispanic, it does not matter.
This Equity push looking for equal outcomes is a push that will keep the most qualified out of contention.
The best suited should always be chosen regardless of their color or race.
We know that Harris was chosen because of her color and sex.
Biden pretty much outright told us that.
If organizations, from the U.S. military to Fortune 100 companies, prioritize skin color over qualifications, then that's another way to see that the country is led not by those who are the best in their field, but among POC who are best in their field. That means....IN MOST CASES WE ARE NOT GETTING THE BEST.
Our V.P. is the most obvious example of this. Look who we will be stuck with once Biden resigns or is forced out due to his increasing incompetence - and the horrible consequence to the country. She NEVER would have been given a second thought if she were white. (Or male.)
It's mindless feel-gooderness. You don't see all those white libs on MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CNN, or the late night comedians all giving up their jobs so some black or brown trans, q u e e r, gay, handicapped person can take their job.

Agreed. You know, judging people by the content of their character, by their skills and abilities, not by their skin color, etc...

Biden, on the other hand, said he would only select someone from a minority of possibilities: a black female.
And how can you defend the fact that the Marxists making the decisions for Biden selected the VERY person that American Democrat voters said that absolutely did not want for president? She was picked DESPITE the fact that she is unappealing personally and has awful policy preferences. She was picked because of her gender and race.
And P.S. As far as quoting an educational source, it is simple STATISTICS that if you limit the choice of the "best" to 1/3 of of the population and disregard 2/3 of the population, that the "best" will be among the 2/3rds you discounted 2/3rds of the time. One doesn't need "a source" for simple math.
I thought we were having an adult conversation and you start in with all this Marxist garbage and the rest of the favored talking points. Many candidates drop out when they realize that its not in their best interest and as i'm sure you voted for the other party why do you care who was chosen? Pence was about as worthless as a bump in the road and he was only selected to placate that part of the GOP.
Based on your posting it is ok to discredit the 1/3 (using your examples) because the odds favor the majority and how many more than qualified people were over looked based on this stupidity. Its that same mentality that automatically removed candidates because of race, gender, ethnicity etc. but believe it or not I believe the best candidate should be selected regardless of what boxes they check.
