Equity

When it comes to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) an argument can be made for diversity and inclusion but not for equity. All to often equity can be explained by addition of fractions where you have to find the lowest common denominator, emphasis on the lowest. Parents in Seattle Public schools are upset by the district's decision to shut down 11 schools dedicated to highly capable learners. The reason is that these schools have more White and Asian students than other races. The education experts have given up on the idea of raising the bottom and are now resorting to lowering the top.
