I am not sure if your initial paragraph was meant to be sarcastic. I do believe we should give additional help based on economic need rather than race or skin color.

Free universal preschool seems to have big impact. Also free universal school lunches are too. There may be other examples too.

Sure, many of those interventions are widely accepted. The controversial question is when do they stop?

If, despite those interventions, your ACT score is 9 points below a more affluent student, do you still deserve a boost? At 35, despite picking up a conviction for theft and possession, and now working a minimum wage job, should the taxpayers have to fund a 2 bedroom apartment for you, pay for your groceries, pay for your healthcare?
