Bringing people down for the sake of equality? Depends.
Bring in more tax money from the rich and build a safety net...that's pretty popular.
Don't allow a student advanced math classes because he'll get ahead of his peers. Unfortunately this is actually being pursued.
Title IX in the US might be used for either side of the argument. Everyone should have equal access in education -- positive. We need to get rid of men's soccer so we can balance the scholarship numbers (bad for men's soccer players). No idea why we can't balance football scholarships with academic/art/engineering/architecture/whatever scholarships.
One of the many reasons I hated this story when I read it in high school was because it's kind of a straw man with no shades of gray or nuance, and thus felt like kind of a dumb thing to discuss.
