Opinion: Equality, as Martin Luther King Jr. championed, is superior to leftist ‘equity’ nonsense
Until recently, I had never thought of the term “equity” as ever being associated with anything except real estate or the financing of such. I guess that’s just because I’m old or old school, as they say.
Benevolent reasons for the new term — which has something to do with “fairness” or “justice,” in newspeak — don’t cut it with me. I prefer this over having third-party authoritarian institutions such as governments, or other do-gooders, calling the shots on what is or is not “equitable” and reordering society accordingly.
As the “woke” fantasies have increasingly subtly creeped throughout our culture and politics, newly invented words, meanings, approaches, concepts, and such have begun to show up out of nowhere, and have not only changed the meanings of established words, but moreover, have reversed or consciously negated the true meanings of many of those words that it has quietly replaced.
