EQUITY QUACKERY I will exit with a question for the equity quacks. The next time you are trying to find a surgeon, will you pick the one who was licensed because she is a member of the right minority group or the one who earned her position the old-fashioned way? Now substitute ‘auto mechanic’ and ‘electrician’ for ‘surgeon.’ How do you respond? Do you want your favorite basketball team to be comprised of players of various ethnicities and genders, or the team that had the best damned players money could buy?
Quality-free education and racial bean counting are still with us.
While numerous changes are needed to improve our faltering education system, eliminating the concept of “equity” should perhaps be at the top of the list.
