Painting with a broad brush here, but from my observer's perch, the Left is it's own worst enemy. We love us a circular firing squad. We're also (collectively) really good at flinging meaningless insults and *terrible* at messaging. I also think DEI has done irreparable harm in a lot of places.
Equity of opportunity? You bet. I'll go to the mat for that any time, any place.
Equity of outcomes? Um, not so much. Merit matters. There's something to the phrase "you gotta want it."
But cute programs eliminating advanced courses makes us feel like we're doing *something.* Mostly it's a feel good exercise for administrators.
P.S. I am convinced that Katz & co. were doing whatever the newsletter version of ratf*cking is.
