I agree with that idea .. that everyone should have the same opportunities .. though I don't think that is what modern equality is about .. and that is what prompted this article; modern attempts to "equalize" things.

Modern equality is about handicapping certain classes of people for the betterment of others, or changing standards so that the "folks who couldn't quite cut it" are able to make it, due solely to the dropped requirements, all in the name of equality. It's a false equality and can only degrade things, as the best candidates (or ideas,or what have you) are cast aside in favor of the demographic du jour. I mean, US army qualification no longer includes hand grenades because millenials can't throw. I saw an article earlier today regarding a job at a university: no white men allowed! That stuff is everywhere now and is all being done in the name of equality and inclusiveness.
