Equity Is a Mandate to Discriminate – WSJ

Those who push for equity have hidden these crucial differences for a reason. They aren t merely unpopular; they challenge America s bedrock principle that people should be treated equally and judged as individuals, not as members of groups.

The demand for equal outcomes contradicts a millennium of Anglo-Saxon law and political evolution. It undermines the Enlightenment principle of equal treatment for individuals of different social rank and religion. America s Founders drew on those roots when they declared independence, saying it was self-evident that all men are created equal.
