Letters to the Editor

Equal opportunity not same as equal outcome

I embrace and strive for equal opportunity for all. It may be our biggest challenge. I, however, do not believe that equal outcome is a valid measurement of successful policy. But then, when I competed in sports as a kid, everyone did not get a trophy. Just sayin’.
