Why We Must Support Public Education
“There is a place in America to take a stand: it is public education. It is the underpinning of our cultural and political system. It is the great common ground. Public education, after all, is the engine that moves us as a society
toward a common destiny… It is in public education that the American dream begins to take shape. The foundation of our democracy depends on public education. If we fail to support public education our quality of life will suffer, our national security will be at risk, and we will lose the freedoms Americans take for granted.” -- Tom Brokaw
