Not if it's taken to be a political construct rather than an inherent or objective fact. Moreover, even as an inherent or objective fact, it can be derived from the morals of fairness, that all should be treated as equal, regardless of any objective existence of such an equality. As a practical matter, equality is only concerned with certain dimensions of human existence, such as equal treatment, dignity, and so on; nobody believes we are inherently equal in all ways, such as intelligence, strength, and height.
