"Spread the Wealth Grading"
I've seen analogies like this before.
I'm pretty sure they are an attempt to reach those who don't understand the destructive nature of socialistic policies.
Historically, socialism destroys incentive. Being able to excel and be rewarded for that is what fuels the capitalism.
Unfortunately, many can't see it for what it is; hence, the analogy approach...

At Townhall.com, Mike S. Adams tries this:
"Good afternoon students! I’m writing you this email to announce that I’m making some changes in the grading policies I announced two weeks ago when I sent an email with an attached course syllabus. As you know, we now have a new president and I thought it would be nice to align our class policies with some of the policies he will be implementing over the next four years. These will be changes you can believe in and, I hope, changes that will inspire hope, which is our most important American value."
