Recognizing in what way? That’s what we’re all talking about here. How should we “recognize” that OP’s parents worked really hard?

As I stated, so this is repeat, objectively, if someone achieves the same thing without the advantage they are better qualified.

Should we be admitting the most qualified students or the best grinder parents kids?

The potential of this policy is more than "social justice" (if it were to succeed which seems unlikely).
