Yes there is something intangiable that is unequal. Something unmeasurable that causes the equal educational oppututnity to not be equal. In regards to something like the law... this isn't relevent... since the law is simply a mechanism.

Its not unmeasurable. You have School X and School Y both run by the government. If Student A is only allowed to go to School X no matter what he does, then he isn't provided equal protection by the law and the government is not treating him equally. It isn't relevant that School X may be better or worse than School Y. It isn't relevant that they may be exactly the same.
I don't even understand what you are trying to say that the law is simply a mechanism. Law doesn't mean anything in the absence of facts. Law only has a meaning when it is applied to a set of facts. Otherwise it is just words on a page.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
