Though our society continues to address the issues of equality, being equal isn’t simple. Not everyone is the same in their needs for equal opportunities as shown by the above graphic....everyone has a box to stand on but does that box create the same opportunity? Obviously not. Treating people exactly the same can lead to unequal results. Adjustments must be made so that everyone has the same outcome which in this case is seeing over the fence. 

Although the adjustment of adding another box may seem unequal, it is considered “equitable” because it is needed for the child to have the same outcome as the others in the group,,,..thus a thought provoking piece of Rotary’s DEI Priority program.
