While that would certainly improve education, affirmative action camp would still have plenty of talking points. More educated parents do have effect on their kids' educational ability. There's always space to one-up by those who got money. Classes can always be smaller, some schools can always have better teachers and equipment, more study-oriented students will keep concentrating in specific locations. Perfect equality is not possible.

Of course but this is one of those "perfect is the enemy of good" situations. Right now we're doing very little and it shows in Title I schools.

My point is that affirmative action will stay relevant as long as there's no perfect equality. Which is not possible.
Even in today's situation affirmative action is wrong. We should accept people by merit, period.
