Racial segregation has come back to public education with a vengeance.

I believe we need a national amendment which will guarantee every child in America the promise of not just an equal education but a high-quality equal education.

There are five issues that make a fist of a hand that can knock America out cold. They're lack of jobs, obesity, diabetes, homelessness, and lack of good education.

As we develop and get quicker with technology in America, it's like we're downgrading if you look at the investment in education... that's the thing that worries me.

To throw obstacles in the way of a complete education is like putting out the eyes.
