Does "equality" even matter to Jesus?

Fair wages yes... But equal living no. I believe scripture supports that notion.
To put it another way.
Children in school, have differing abilities. Then there are those with disabilities that need special help. But there are those within normal ability ranges, which differ due to behaviour. Someone capable of getting a's gets d". They don't study, they drink, smoke pot dont do himework. Then those that study, do their homework, don;t drink, or smoke pot. Their education is important to them, they work for that grade. Are you going to take the A from the one, to give credit the D so they equal out?
So far they just made it so they are all equal in low standards for learning in school. Equalling them out in what they don't learn.

There is also a acknowledgement that some students need more years or time to learn something as brains develop differently different talents, usually they try to find something they like and are good with

We do not do that. If someone does not want to go to school they are left to their own in school they do get picked up to school anyway. Then they are sent to specialist class where they usually can choose to learn or not they do get support, or they are made to re do school or go to a more practical learning school learn a trade or something. As well as those who do their home work do get the grades they deserve but those who does not do not. It is more the treatment not be treated badly.

The dumbing down of standards has happened here in this ideal for equality. Which is a deceptive term. It really is equity. taking the out the abilty for differing outcomes.

I think it the same for income though. It is equity. People who are Able, driven, hard working to make a better living. If the abilty to have that living, is taken away, why work your tail off to do it? Scripture speaks of rewards, along with fairness, and then charity. The other is just equity.
I don't speak of these things because I have wealth, I do not. Never have had it. I get by...I am fine with that. If it were less though I would not.
