No, you even the field for everyone so that academic progress can happen based on talent and work.
Sure, but that isn't going to happen overnight. School DEI programs are the best we have until schools are funded equally across the board. But that's never going to happen, especially not if the Republicans get their way with Project 2025 and the school voucher program they want to implement.
Sooo achieving higher scores and being overall more deserving of a position isn't a level playing field, because the other person is a different race. There isn't any talk of talent or work here. It's prefferential treatment based on stuff that isn't possible to be controlled.
You're very silly.
