My Values are Equal but They are Not

Does anybody understand why this is not being interpreted as true.

Script:
Code:
#!/bin/bash

errored=`grep  "errored" new_update_scripts.txt`
echo $errored = "errored"
if [ "$errored" = "errored" ]; then
    echo true
else
    echo false
fi

Output:
Code:
[smackey]$ UpdateScripts

errored = errored
false
