The education system has to act to mitigate the class system, not reproduce it. Affirmative action should be based on class instead of race, a change that many have been advocating for years.

Society as a group is made out of bad, decent and a few good people, economically speaking. I'm not a parent. Assuming you are, which group would you prefer your child be in? IF I am paying more for my son to go to an elite college, why would I want him to come out average? If I were a HS dropout, I would certainly want him to be no less than a college grad with a bright future. Sorry, egalitarian ideas be damned when it comes to my kid. IF I were a parent, I would definitely want my kid to surpass me. I know my Dad does.
