As much as we might like it to be true, we are not all born with “equality of opportunity”. It’s not government’s fault and is nothing that can be corrected by government, it’s just a fact of life.
Whatever the “average” I.Q. is, I’ve seen the number 100, a child born with an I.Q. of 90 and a child born with an I.Q. of 110 are both only 10 points from that 100 but which child is born with a better chance to succeed? Take it further to 85 & 115 and the difference becomes profound.
Just my thoughts. I am an observer, not an expert in these matters.
