Some things just make sense. This includes the fact that all children, whoever they are, deserve a high-quality education in order to fulfill their economic and social destinies. Not everyone believes this — especially many defenders of the status quo in American public education, who argue that poverty is the underlying reason why our poorest children are subjected to what is essentially educational malpractice.
One person who believes otherwise is Howard Fuller, the former Milwaukee schools superintendent who helped launch the first school choice program in the United States and has advocated for better schools for every child. Watch this video of an appearance he made last year at Denver’s Manual High School and consider what you will do to assure that every child gets the schools they deserve.
