[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a goal. It's aspirational. Will it happen? No, of course not. But it's fine to have it as a goal. We SHOULD want equal outcomes.

Getting your panties in a bunch because it means your precious little snowflake might lose some edge just makes you a nasty sort of person who is destined to burn in Hell for all of eternity.[/quote]

It's a foolish and dangerous goal. As such, it should never be set out as one.

It isn’t a foolish goal. We should want everyone to succeed. If you don’t, you hate America and all that it stands for. Why do you hate America, pp? Where did America hurt you?[/quote]

Not PP - I don't have a problem with equal opportunities however, I believe equal outcomes is quite a stretch. I also don't trust FCPS to implement in a way that doesn't bring others down. The AAP overhaul is an example. FCPS wants to see current demographics reflected in program participants. Their charts showed a sharp decline in other demographic groups in order to achieve this goal.

Another example occurred when "equipping students with the skills to recognize multiple perspectives, analyze bias, and examine privilege as 21st century learners." (Fcps' words), they choose to have students play privilege bingo, where being a member of the military or employed is considered privileged. Remember that?[/quote]
