Human beings are genetically and socially wired to do this.
Many people would objectively agree "Private tuition for entrance exams distorts the intake by income not ability". Very few would then refuse to give their children that edge going in to the exam. Similar examples exist for things like inheritance.
Personally, I'm wouldn't try and argue that people should not act in their own (and their children's) best interest. Because there is no chance that takes root. The need is for systemic limits to be in place on the impact this natural/rational behaviour can have.
