Bombs destroy a city; an equality bomb destroys a people. The Equality Bomb, like rent control, is manufactured by well-intentioned rulers who don't understand what they are doing. They, just as advocates of rent control, see disparities among groups in the population, are pained by them, and seek to do good by eradicating them.

It is a train wreck based on the idea that all people are equal in terms of their ability and that education can be bought. The whole country is obsessed with the idea of equality, and while the black-white ability gap undeniably exists, the reason for this gap is not what you may have been told. The Equality Bomb exploresThe most important court cases The 21 schools most affected Guidance on what can be done to reverse the damage Evidence that No Child Left Behind is unachievable
