This is what affirmative action should be... helping people out based on their individual situation, not because their skin color or gender.

Also, just helping them out. Nobody gets hurt. This isn't creating an allotment of seats for foster kids. The selection process, and thus odds, are the same for them and everyone else.

Maybe the new affirmative action is visible minorities or other groups just get free education?

But then you’d need a K-12 system that doesn’t fail them or set them up for not succeeding by getting them into lower stream courses.

Free prenatal and neonatal care seems like an obvious first step. It's literally taking care of the unborn and babies, so they have a healthy start to life. (I similarly believe education, school breakfasts and lunches, and pediatric care should be free.)
