Is it possible the headline was updated? The word “inequitable” appears in the article’s URL indicating that’s the original framing of the author.

As prostoalex pointed out, it was the HTML doc title - which is a perfectly legitimate option. But I think the page title is a bit more neutral, so have changed it.

<title>As Ds and Fs soar, schools ditch inequitable grade systems - Los Angeles Times</title>

and the article itself very much does outline it. I don't want to quote the exact parts where it does touch on it, because I'd end up copypasting a wall of text.

This was submitted via the bookmarklet, which I believe just copies the <title>
