"Equity" as Educational Malpractice by Benjamin Boyce

Because teaching is not a profession, but a vocation, there is no protection against malpractice, there are no professional standards.

I'm not saying that's a good thing, but it is very much a thing. There are standards for as such professions - lawyers have the bar association, MDs have the AMA, some professions like accountancy have standards of ethical practice governed by law. Teaching not so much.

But anyway, Benjamin Boyce is definitely someone to watch, his interviews are among the best and most culturally relevant on the web. He has a real ability to get his guests to open up and speak candidly. His work in documenting the situation at Evergreen College is something truly unique, a type of journalism the world had never seen before.

There’s two types of equality it is equality in outcome or opportunity most people want opportunity because it is more fair

Lowering the bar (entry requirements) for women to achieve gender equity in universities?

Why stop there? Lower the crime/ conviction requirements for women to achieve gender equity in prisons.

What a lot of people get wrong about the concept of “equality” is that, at least from any active US politician, nobody wants equality. They want equal opportunity.

That means that everyone has an equal shot at making it.

An example of how our system does not do facilitate this is that by not having an estate tax (or having a very low one) it gives kids of rich parents an unfair advantage. They didn’t work for their wealth, it was just handed to them.
