I absolutely agree. I grew up in a single parent household in poverty. But I was able to beat people on the SAT who grew up in extremely wealthy families. I have met plenty of people that graduated from highschool with a great gpa and went to good schools solely because of their family, and I have known dozens of people that I know are pretty sharp who didn't get to school because of family circumstances.

Anything that seeks to further widen the rich / poor gap like this is in my mind, completely unethical.
