The scam of “equity” in schools is on display in California. More accurately, it’s on display based on what isn’t in California: its first superintendent of equity.

According to Politico, “California’s first superintendent of equity lives in Philadelphia and has a separate job there, more than 2,500 miles away from the schools he advises as one of the highest-paid officials in the state Department of Education.” Daniel Lee apparently has never lived in California, but he was given a job that was not publicly posted by the state Education Department. He was a friend of State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond, and apparently, that was enough.
