The Case for Equity

The rationale for policies that promote equity is that economic and social class advantages tend to accumulate and self-perpetuate. It is widely known—and confirmed by research study after research study—that children's performance in school and on standardized tests is strongly correlated with family income and maternal education.

In a strictly "equal" world that does not take into consideration such historical trends, all segments of the population would be treated equally. And children from high-income families will perform better at school and consequently get better college and job opportunities, eventually out-earning their counterparts from poorer families.
