Yes, it does. But a quick look at any state reveals that this is not just the opinion of those posting here-- it's a legal/legislative reality most places. Parents who have a wide social justice streak themselves will try to do something about it-- but after they have seen the inside of a local school for a few years (about 2nd to 4th grade) they realize that they cannot change things in enough time for it to matter to their own kids.
There are people who support better education for the gifted and who shudder at the term "social justice". From the Wikipedia page of Friedrich von Hayek:
Hayek disapproved of the notion of 'social justice'. He compared the market to a game in which 'there is no point in calling the outcome just or unjust' and argued that 'social justice is an empty phrase with no determinable content'; likewise "the results of the individual's efforts are necessarily unpredictable, and the question as to whether the resulting distribution of incomes is just has no meaning". He generally regarded government redistribution of income or capital as an unacceptable intrusion upon individual freedom: "the principle of distributive justice, once introduced, would not be fulfilled until the whole of society was organized in accordance with it. This would produce a kind of society which in all essential respects would be the opposite of a free society."
