Over the last few years, the Left has gone all in for “equity,” by which they mean coercive policies that will ensure fairness for all social groups. That old liberal stuff about equal opportunity — well, that’s just cover for white privilege.
Among the “arguments” they use to promote their plans is a cartoon with three people trying to see a ball game over a fence. But it’s obviously unfair because one is tall. Government needs to do something to help the short one.
Economist Robert Graboyes has gotten fed up with the lunacy of that, and in his most recent Bastiat’s Window piece, takes aim at it.
Leftist educators always prattle on about how they teach “critical thinking” but they won’t like Graboyes’s thinking very much.
If you’ve seen and been annoyed at the silly cartoon, you’ll want to read the piece.
