The article discusses Rep. Burgess Owens’ launch of\u2063 a new House caucus called\u2062 the “Merit Caucus” to combat diversity, \u2064equity, and inclusion ideology\u2063 in education. Owens believes \u200cthat the push for equity has \u200blowered standards and discouraged academic excellence in the \u200bname of fairness. The caucus \u200daims to protect challenging curriculums, oppose \u2062lowering grading standards for equity, and fight against \u200cracial quota\u2063 systems that replace entrance exams. Members of the caucus will work to encourage \u2063students to strive\u200d for greatness and \u2064celebrate hard\u200b work and \u2063excellence\u2062 in education. The article also provides examples of how DEI ideology has impacted academic achievement<\/a>, such as the removal\u2063 of Algebra \u200dI \u2064as an option for eighth graders in California and the shutdown of gifted programs \u2062in Seattle Public Schools. <\/p>\n
