How do you know I had less opportunities because I came from dirt?
I never asked for special treatment, nor do I think I deserved it.
I liked to hang ~OUTT ... errr ... spend a lott of time at the library, reading. I liked to learn stuff.
Shirley there were better elementary and middle schools than the one's I went to - I had a teacher claim that lightning was caused by two raindrops hitting each other. I corrected her (I head Issac Asimov non-fiction books since 4th grade). She sent me to the principal's office for arguing with her. I had a science teacher steal my jacket because I made him look the fool he was when he could nott make his own stoichiometric chemical equations balance.
I had some variable teachers. One chased me down the hall with a baseball bat before I realized at 6'1" in seventh grade I had nothing to fear from her bat. When I turned, she stopped and began crying. She was fired at Christmas break and she was admitted to a psychiatric hospital. Nott because of me, butt because she was nuts.
Just because my folks were nott rich and I had some questionable teachers, I don't think I was 'disadvantaged' at all. In fact, I had a lott more drive and ambition than the rich kids I ran into.
You and (excuse me) your 'ilk' think that you can determine 'disadvantaged' and measure it or make proxies for it. You're simply damned wrong and frankly arrogant in believing that you know better.
In any case, if you have these beliefs and a desire to 'equalize the opportunity' in whatever way you see it, then do it with your time and your own funds.
It is nott for the government to do. It cannot be an 'equal before the law' government and also a social engineer. These are mutually exclusive things, and frankly the government has no means or basis to make such determinations.
