The Math misadventure article is interesting. In their efforts to promote equity they only cut the legs off students who would otherwise either excell in math or choose to challenge themselvs. I have experienced the same handicap in the name of equity in my own education. Instead of lifting people up, it seems the euqity bandwagon more often tears more people down.
