Equality of opportunity is okay.
It's equality of outcomes where shit gets bad real fast.
To have equality of opportunity, all American kids have access to a decent education. They all have the same chance at being admitted to a particular university. The standards are the same for everybody. Everybody rises on merit rather than identity.
When you seek equality of outcomes, you have to destroy equality of opportunity. You have to select some people for admission over others because of their race or their gender. You have to meet diversity quotas even when, based on people's free choices, you could never really meet it without compromising your business or academic rigor.
Right now we are stuck in between the two principles because the left wants equality of outcomes while the rest of us want equality before the law.
