Comment on The difference between equality, justice and equity.

  You know what ISN’T merit? …simply being born part of some special group that gets preferential treatment based on the most meaningless of things.

  Merit could be anything from HS grades to SAT scores or placement in various scholarly competitions. Income level should be mixed in there as well.

  Do we want to live in an equitable world? Then stop dividing people over stupid shit.

    being born rich isn’t merit either, but it has lasting inpacts on HS grades, SAT scores, and placement in scholarly competitions. How do you propose to ensure schools aren’t full of people who just bought their way in?
