Lee Harper. To kill a Mockingbird (№ 418142)

Here is one of the most ridiculous examples for you: teachers transfer dumb and lazy people from class to class on a par with capable students and explain in earnest that it cannot be otherwise, because all people are created equal and children left for the second year suffer unbearably from the consciousness of their inferiority. But we know that people are not created equal in the sense that some people want to assure us: some are distinguished by their intelligence, others by chance have more opportunities, still others know how to earn more, other women are better at pies - in short, some people are born significantly more gifted than the rest.
