Todd Talk: Equality Isn’t Sameness: Why Excellence Still Matters in Education

A 60-second conservative commentary with humor and heart.

Illustrated classroom scene showing students with diverse talents, highlighting the importance of excellence and individual strengths in education from a conservative perspective.

My friends, let me simplify this for the socialists among us. We are all created equally in the eyes of God, but we are not all equal in talents or abilities. Everyone is good at something—probably many things, in fact. But we are not all good at the same things, and some skills simply have more value in the marketplace.

New York City Mayor Zoran Mamdani is ending the gifted and talented program for kindergartners, and it perfectly captures the confusion on the Left. In education, there is nothing wrong with challenging students who excel in certain areas. What’s the alternative—holding them back so no one feels uncomfortable?

That’s not compassion; that’s confusion. This is life. Let kids discover their strengths and pursue them with confidence. Excellence isn’t cruelty. It’s opportunity.
