Just your regular reminder that it was not the left who brought equality of opportunity *in* to party-politics. It was the right who kicked it *out* of the agreed social contract.

For example, it was under Ronald Reagan that a Democratic House and Republican Senate enacted the first Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) clause in law to try to redress imbalances in government contracting.

It was obvious enough to previous political generations that biased outcomes were something to be fixed.

And that they should be fixed, even if you couldn’t spot exactly where the biases had affected the process.

Equal opportunity was seen as American, not leftist.
