what
equality
of
opportunity
is
all
about.
This
means
that
the
law
protects
freedom
for
people
of
all
religions,
races,
genders,
and
classes.
The
government
provides
access
to
free
public
education
for
all
school
aged
children,
and
requires
equal
access
to
public
employment
opportunities
and
spaces.
Although
the
United
States
was
founded
on
the
idea
that
“all
men
are
created
equal,”
this
referred
specifically
to
men
of
European
ancestry.
Throughout
history,
different
groups
of
people
have
fought
to
expand
that
understanding
to
include
everyone,
including
women,
people
of
different
races
and
ethnicities,
and
people
with
disabilities.
Open

Resources
(OERs)
offer
access
to
free
resources
and
information
for
those
who
may
not
be
able
to
pay
for
them.
English
classes
and
teaching
materials,
for
example,
are
often
available
only
to
those
who
have
money.
However,
if
we
make
and
share
OERs
with
others,
we
can
provide
access
to
free

for
English

and

who
may
not
otherwise
have
them.
