Background does count for something, and I can see the point about it being a safety net, but I think this is splitting hairs. Someone had a problem, and they came up with a solution, something we've been doing forever. No one is guaranteed an equal upbringing, an equal safety net, or wealth, but we can guarantee that everyone has a chance to chase what they want.
Inequality, IMHO, will always exist. But so long as there's a chance to chase an idea, there's hope there will be equality that everyone will find equally just.

Except some people are starting within arm's length of the rabbit and some people are not only starting the next state over, they're chained to a concrete block. "everyone has a chance" is bollocks when those chances range from "virtually certain" to "virtually certainly zero".
