It's much better to simply accept losing that one unicorn to have a simpler, clearer policy overall. It's not fair? Life's not fair.
I don't believe there's a problem with talent in america as a result of "glorifying stupidity". We produce plenty of kids who do great in math and science, who then go on to get relevant STEM degrees. And then most of them are never able to find work in their field. The excuse then becomes oh well gee I guess they just suck, except I don't see that there's any relationship between ability in the field and ability to find *work* in that field. The C student has the right connections and cruises into a cushy engineering job, while the A student ends up working some shitty office job that could be done by anyone with an 8th grade education. Graduation year is 10x more influential on your success than how hard you work in school or what major you choose.
America is not utilizing the resources it has. It prefers to pretend those resources don't exist, while preying on the young people who do want to work hard by encouraging them to take on huge amounts of debt, lying to them from birth about opportunities that do not actually exist for them. This cannot continue.
