For those that think we can, how do you do it?
There are a lot of people who believe we can do better about making sure people are treated equally, but how do you make that happen? Is it even possible? Any opinions welcomed here, although I would like it to stay civil if at all possible.

Government can't legislate equality. That is the natural/God-given right of every person. (Just to be clear, we are talking about equality under the law, equality of opportunity) Nor can government legislate that all people will treat all others equally. Prejudice will always exist. It is an undesirable though innate quality of human nature. It is up to people of good will to insure that their government treat all citizens equally and stand against those who act on their prejudices. Sadly, we don't teach this lesson to our children anymore, least ways not in school. Take bullying for example. Children used to know how to handle bullies. Now they're not allowed to. The teacher will do it for them and they're punished if teachers fail to take care of the problem for them. Thus, children learn to wait for authority to take care of their problems for them and grow into adults expecting the same from their government.

As usual, I 100% agree.
In your opinion CPT Jack Durish, is our government currently doing too much or too little? (To clarify, I mean are they actively creating inequality in an effort to create equality with something like AA or should we be doing more the ensure equal opportunity?)

Outside the enumerated powers and Bill of Rights, the states and the people are supposed to be self-governing. Knowing that socialist and republican forms of government are not equal, how can anyone who has sworn to defend the US Constitution support any candidate who supports anything not resembling the founding documents? Centralized government is foreign to a Representative Republic. Equal opportunity will not ever equate to equal outcome because people will either work hard, innovate or stagnate. Those who chose not to to work or innovate will stagnate and it is their own damned fault if they never try or get up when they fall.
