"Justice is never given; it is exacted and the struggle must be continuous for freedom is never a final fact, but a continuing evolving process to higher and higher levels of human, social, economic, political and religious relationship."
-A. Philip Randolph
Education is the Civils Rights issue of our generation
The Federal Departmet of Education plans to intensify its civil rights enforcement efforts in schools around the country. A broad review will look at not just whether procedures are in place, but at the impact district practices have on students of one race or another, and if students needs are being met. It will also address the challenges of insuring equity and equal educational opportunities. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan said "we will work with schools and enforce laws to ensure that all children, not matter what their race, gender, disability or native origin, have a fair chance at a good future. Despite how far we've come as a country over the last 45 years, we know there are still ongoing barriers to equal educational opportunity in this country."
"A community is democratic only when the humblest and weakest person can enjoy the highest civil, economic, and social rights that the biggest and the most powerful possess." -A. Philip Randolph
