It does matter. The idiots will drag the smart ones down. Higher taxes because the idiots can’t take care of themselves. Higher crime because idiots are more likely to turn to drugs and crime. Higher out of wedlock births because idiots don’t think about consequences to their own offspring let alone society. More idiots in public office because idiots can be easily persuaded and bought by shiny baubles and “free” money.

I’ve seen the “smart ones.” Many of them are either the kids of immigrants or the kids of hyper-intelligent professional parents. It looks to me, they’re the kids who’ll grow up to run things.

Of course, there’s also the overseas competition — about a billion kids in India and China all willing to work their butts off 24/7 for a house in the suburbs, a decent mid-sized car and a chance to send their kids to college

Indeed. I encountered this many times in the classroom.
