"I also said, as I have repeatedly, that the teachers of our nation, who have dedicated their lives to service in the classroom, are the real soldiers of democracy, whereas the NEA's high-priced Washington lobbyists have made no secret that they will fight against bringing real, rock-solid improvements in the way we educate all our children regardless of skin color, accent or where they live.
I believe that this quote truly captures the struggles with education on a political level and how hard teachers have to work to make progress within the system.
I am a firm believer in equal education. I absolutely do not believe that anyone has the right to say that you don't deserve a quality education.
