Student Advantages

Martin Mulvihill (letter, April 6) asks, “Naturally, students of wealthier, suburban school districts enjoy advantages, but why begrudge them?”

Uh, because the “natural order” creates a mass of second-class citizens mired in poverty and despair? Because Americans believe in fair play and a level playing field? Because we disproved the doctrine of “separate but (un)equal” long ago?

Some people still think only the rich deserve to get richer. So much for equal opportunity in America.
