Обзор концепции равных возможностей см. в статье “Equal Opportunity,” Wikipedia, June 24, 2015, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equal_opportunity.
Идея равного доступа сыграла крайне важную роль в борьбе за права представителей разных рас (см. “School Desegregation and Equal Education Opportunity,” Civil Rights 101, http://www.civilrights.org/resources/civilrights101/desegregation.html?referrer=https://www.google.com/, and “The Civil Rights Movement (1954–1965): An Overview,” The Social Welfare History Project, http://www.socialwelfarehistory.com/eras/civil-rights-movement/); представителей разного пола (см. Bonnie Eisenberg and Mary Ruthsdotter, “History of the Women’s Rights Movement,” National Women’s History Project, 1998, http://www.nwhp.org/resources/womens-rights-movement/history-of-the-womens-rights-movement/); возможностей (“A Brief History of the Disability Rights Movement,” The Anti-Defamation League, 2005, http://archive.adl.org/education/curriculum_connections/fall_2005/fall_2005_lesson5_history.html.
Здесь крайне важно отметить, что концепция равного доступа по-прежнему важна и заслуживает защиты. Взять хотя бы тот факт, что в 2005 году (спустя два года после героического полета Киллер Цыпы) в Конгрессе была предпринята попытка отстранить женщин от участия в военных действиях (“Letters to the Editor for Friday, May 27, 2005,” Stars and Stripes, May 27, 2005, http://www.stripes.com/opinion/letters-to-the-editor-for-friday-may-27-2005-1.35029).
