Equality of opportunity does NOT guarantee equality of results.
Absolutely, equality of opportunity does not provide equality of results, never has, never will. It may be true that some in life start out with a leg up but from there, they sink or swim on their own initiative, til recently.
We have been on the averaging down path for far too long. No more honor rolls, no more keeping score, no more advancement based on test scores. No, we just move everything along like one blob. When some succeed, we tax them to death to punish their initiative and reward the losers in life. What galls me is it is getting worse and we are now so far down the path of killing achievement we have lost our sense of purpose and seem content as a nation to whine about how bad things have become yet not kill off the reasons why this has happened. No, we believe passing more laws will right the problems.
