More equity

Through the history of Western civilization Jews have been discriminated against and sometimes it was because they were too successful. Case in point, in the last century leading universities limited the number of Jewish students. The same thing is happening to Asian American students today. It was wrong then and it is wrong now. This has now spread into high schools. In one Fairfax County, Virginia high school national merit winners were kept secret for equity purposes. The principal said it was a clerical over sight but recently two more high schools have admitted withholding merit awards. It is not likely that three separate schools had clerical errors but the investigation continues. Equity means equal results and having some students excel in academics means unequal results. This hearkens back to the idea that everyone gets a trophy and everyone moves up to the next grade and not keeping score.
