I think this is where I got stuck. Is it a problem to tell the have nots to step their game up? Isn't the lack of belief that the have nots
can achieve a roadblock to their success? I ask because we've seen time and again that, when provided with resources and attention, low performing students can and definitely do excel, as the issue is not a lack of intelligence.

Therefore, there are "haves" who simply do not want social class and race and ethnicity diversity. It defeats the original purpose of the division.

While this issue is a given, it shouldn't be a factor in the decision-making process. Unless the haves students will be negatively impacted, academically, these parents need to get over themselves.
