Equality is something people want till people actually have it. Equality often limits a person’s abilities and disables to do something for themselves or inspire themselves. Equality's, the main character in the book Anthem, the primary motivation is proving that he is smart enough to become a scholar. Equality has a right to be motivated in this way since he believes that he can help the society so he is giving into the collectivism. I think that if everyone was motivated in this way, there would be a more progressive society where people sought to improve themselves and society at the same time.
The Education System in the 1930’s What is equality? Equality is the state of being equal or the same as; specifically in justice, opportunity, and/or social position. Think about education in the early 20th century, can we say that equality existed?

Ferguson decision and declared that “separate education facilities are inherently unequal”. Brown v.

Board of Education sparked the Civil Rights Movement, made education equal, and established that “separate but equal” was unconstitutional.
DEIS (Delivering Equality of Opportunity in Schools), which is the Action Plan for educational inclusion.

Demonstrated by the Texas Supreme Court case Edgewood ISD v. Kirby, the role of the people is to notice an issue in the Texas government and take action to make a change. In 1989, the state of Texas funded public school districts throughout Texas with a system of property taxes from surrounding neighborhoods. This was the cause of the Mexican Legal Defense and Education Fund (MALDEF) going to court against William Kirby, the commissioner of education (Acosta, 2010).
We believe that every child is entitled to an education no matter what background they are from. We encourage our staff to listen to the suggestions and needs of our children and take all matters seriously, building an inclusive community on trust and self-worth. The Salamaca statement and framework for action on special needs education 1994 (UNESCO, 1994) also states ‘Each child’s learning needs are different’
Within the school environment, there will be a variety of children and adults. Each child and adult will differ from the other. Some will come from different backgrounds, speak different languages and some may have additional educational needs or impairments. Children and adults from different backgrounds may speak a different language to the majority of the people in the school. Sometimes they may have English as a second language but some may only have their first language.
Equality is important because it gives everyone equal rights and opportunities.

The teachers need to understand the instructional designs and how to apply these. In executing this effectively the learning process should expose the utilization of theoretical frameworks, student centered learning, collaboration, culturally fit (diversity), awareness of different learning styles and reflective practices (Tuitt, 2003, p.251- 253).

It is important for teachers to create an environment that promotes fairness in order for students to succeed. Equality and equity are both needed to do this. Equality in a class means every student has the same opportunity to succeed. Making accommodations for students is called equity.

It is a symbol of respect for all of humanity. It can be argued that inclusive education is about social justice and equity and takes into account learner’s abilities, potential and diverse needs. The learner does not have to adapt to the social system. The school or the education system has to change in order to meet the learning needs of all children in a given community (Kisanji 1999; Armstrong 2005). In other words, inclusion involves restructuring the cultures, policies and practices in schools so that they respond to the diversity of students in their locality (Booth and Ainscow 2002).
