Complete no-brainer.
Fair should be taken to refer to economics, not IQ.
It's unfair that some dunces don't get to go into a gifted program, but economic inequality would only come into pay if they could pay their way in anyway; and their presence there then would be definitely unfair.
In any case, everyone should be clear about what they mean by fair, otherwise you engage in unproductive talking past one another or even equivocation.
