Equity in Words

“If we love the children, then we must do whatever it takes to provide them with the teachers and school leaders they deserve. We cannot tolerate or support ideologies and practices that cripple our children further—those that hold that our children are the problem or those that assume that our teachers and school leaders are not capable of becoming powerful factors in the lives of students."
