Youre right people will do that to their children. Some are even worse such as parents that are blind or deaf only wanting kids with the same disability to promote community.

Understanding statistic is a good thing as well. Mark Twain examined this needs saying, "There are lies; Damned lies; and then there are statistics".

If I had kids I would give them any advantage I could. And never feel guilty.

I don't know if I could stop myself from laughing at such a bald-faced liar. To tell that to another parent? 🤦‍♂️

Folks like that are crabs in a bucket, dragging everyone else's children down to give their own kids a "fair" advantage.

Mocking disdain is the only response to anyone like this.

Those who want equity always need to achieve it by lowering everyone to the lowest common denominator.
