This is what ‘equity’ in education looks like.
Everyone is supposed to be fairly evaluated against the same metric.
If you want to fix ‘injustice’, you need to start in kindergarten, not the 13th grade.

I would think it’s also against the spirit of the bill of rights, yet here we are in America, with secret courts reviewing secret surveillance and meta data.

Rule also implies universality, which is how I interpreted it here. I was saying this is a new, ‘limited’ belief.

My first thought was that someone stole components. There is no reason for this kind of fraud. The government pays whether stuff is on time or not.
