We have equal RIGHTS. But we are not created equal. Some are taller, stronger, smarter, more athletic, better spellers, better looking, etc.
What the term "all MEN (it does not say women and children btw) are created equal" refers to is in the eyes of their government. Just because someone isn't as tall or rich or whatever doesn't mean they are less entitled to the unalienable rights.
Try not to confuse that with the fact of natural variation found in every species on this planet.
You're looking at humans by the terms of a government entity, I see a human (of all variations) as a divine, natural, being. People in power has always referred to all people as, totality, man. We are all equal. Of course the differences are inevitable, but we as a collective unit view these differences as division points, unfortunately. The difference-division complex we have as a people only furthers our stunted growth mentally. I'm not confusing anything with anything. The government, truthfully play on this fallacy of our understanding of each other as a people..

Many work in fields that do not require a college education, some even work blue-collar jobs. In the past, many college-educated teachers and nurses have married blue-collar guys. However, I think that's changing or has changed, as it's become difficult to find a decent-paying career without a degree. At the same time, I think there's a lot of elitist rhetoric, polarization, geographic segregation, and forgetting that we're human first, degreed second all going on. None of this is good because the non-college crowd is increasingly cut off from influence of those that have gone to college and are being increasingly marginalized. When college-grads and companies they work for largely cluster together, segregated to themselves, this also cuts off the less-educated off from spin-off economic activity.
It's not a conspiracy, just the truth hidden in plain sight, you're agreeing with me so I'm good with that. It is deep how this is played out and hidden almost to mock us. Though we're being shown how it really is and plays out... Through a myriad of means and ploys they're playing with us, not a conspiracy by the way
I guess a true educated person is not only someone who finishes degree in college or had masteral or doctorate from one of the great universities in town. A true bloom educated person is someone who knows how to respect other people, respects other opinions and brave enough to handle each of the difficult situation that comes his/her way without harming anyone.
I'd say an educated person who knows a lot about a subject. I know a lot about where continents and countries are... but I'm horrible at math. No one is perfect.

If we are all different, that we are not all equal.

Education is a matter of degree (pun intended). its not like you can be either educated or not, but you can be MORE educated and LESS educated, and everything is relative.
for example:
no high school diploma - "mooo"
high school diploma - "congrats, you finally proved to the society that you learned how to master basic repeatable tasks on your own"
bachelors degree - "congrats, you proved to the society that you are able to think critically and independently, and you are adequately able to meet deadlines"
masters degree - "congrats, you finally mastered a field of interest and now became a knowledgable subject matter expert, you are able to think strategically and on high-level. in addition you proved that you are going above and beyond of what is viewed as acceptable by society"
PhD degree - "congrats, you are sertified expert in the field of interest, you are able to conduct scientific research and now you can stretch the boundaries of what is known to mankind"
post doctorate - "you are a university professor and mr know-it-all fancy pants, the elite of the society"
sooo let's say you have a masters degree (i.e. in the top 10% of the Americans) - are you educated? yes, you are, but is a PhD more educated than you are on the subject? of course.
If we are all different, that we are not all equal.
Maybe you should look up those terms.
Elaborate please. I will say that you're looking to deep for an argument, the fact of the matter is that we're all at the core, Homo sapiens sapiens, scientifically.
