Everyone is special,
everyone's unique;
but you discuss equality;
your arguments are weak.

You say we're all the same,
but that's clearly not the case,
we all deserve the same respect,
but that's not what we base

the opportunities on,
we give them all the same
the tests are vicious, border malicious
to make our words so tame.

We're told that it's offensive,
but that is just your guise,
to make us all identical,
you think that you're so wise?
People deserve equal respect, but "equal" opportunities aren't equal for people with unequal abilities.

Indeed.

In many ways, it's "individualism vs collectivism". Yet, there is no singular solution to this kind of problem; it has many facets, which all require their own approach to solve.

I will admit that I lean closer to "individualist" than "collectivist", but even then, there needs to be some sort of balance.
