I'd be curious to find out what you think the sociological consequences are going to be both short term and long term.

creating different classes of people with wildly divergent potential/futures

kids from 2-parent homes DOMINATE kids from 1-parent/broken homes in terms of outcome. creating a cultural divide between economic/class differences in accepting marriage is going to severely reinforce these differences and expand the gap

Where the kids born to wealthy parents have such a significant advantage even at birth (never mind during the school years) that kids born to working class parents don't have a chance?

on the meta level? yes

especially with how difficult (and now expensive) the gatekeeping functions will be. strapping the small population of 1-parent kids to insane debt to get a college degree creates a double disadvantage that makes any climb out of that sociological abyss less likely
