Harrison Bergeron, by Kurt Vonnegut, presents a world where all people are
equal.  Equality is the lowest common denominator.  Announcers have speech
impediments, athletes are crippled, and so on.  Anyone gifted in an area is
"handicapped."  Beautiful people wear ugly masks, strong people have weights
tied on to them, etc.  Harrison Bergeron carries the handicaps of three people,
and is still not quite "equal."

It's the sort of short story that high school english teachers like to use.
