Does this mean that all MSs have to offer the exact same course offerings?

Read one way, this clause could represent a big win for progressives.[/quote]

No, it certainly isn't. Progressives want equitable outcomes regardless of individual choices. Offering these classes only avail the students to the classes. It would still be up to the students to meet the prerequisites and take the actual classes. [/quote]

False. Progressives want equitable opportunities. Which is precisely what this is.

But misrepresenting the goals of progressives is probably a good strategy for winning points from the folks here who think that only Asians care about education.[/quote]

That's not what equity means in progressive parlance. Equity is *what you have*, meaning privileges. They are not just after equal opportunity. Here it is straight for the horse's mouth:

As shown in the illustrative cartoon at the top, it's not that they want to give every child the opportunity to build their own box if they need it. No. It's that they want two boxes to be provided to that one child, at the expense of  the other child. [/quote]

If you can look at that picture and not conclude that the best thing to do is give two boxes to the short kid so everyone can see, no one should ever let you anywhere near children. That’s Child Protective Services level of psychopathy.[/quote]

LOL, do you give money to the poor kids so they can live in the same size home and in the same neighborhood as your kids? If you don't do this, then perhaps call child protective services on yourself and tell them that you are a self-diagnosed psychopath. [/quote]

It’s a box, and it’s the ability to watch a baseball game.

It’s applicable to some things - not everything.

Again… makes me wonder if you’re a false-flag troll trying to make the regressives look bad.[/quote]
