Abstract
Educational research, by and large, has aided and abetted inequality in the name of equality in modernist democratic countries. Such an accusation seems difficult to believe or to swallow. How can the call to social equality and the call to social justice lead to inequality? This sounds counter-intuitive and patently false. However, if social injustice is continually defined by identity politics and the redistribution of knowledge (or of wealth for that matter) in the name of ‘progress,’ there will always be a ‘failure’ for the poor and the ‘stupid’ or ‘dumb’ (to use pejorative terms) will always lag behind.
