That’s not very very and objective when you dig into, though. Take twins separated at birth, raise one in a good school system, and the other in a shoddy one. Guess which is likely to have the higher SAT/ACT, even though they were born with the same abilities.

There are plenty of brilliant kids who made the mistake of being born in the wrong zip code. Something sane and fair would take that into account. Thing is, that’s good for the rest of us, too. I want the best and brightest to be found and educated so they can invent cool things and make my life better. If you reject people just because of their birthplace, you’re drastically limiting the talent pool.
