Children Quote by Anonymous
““Maybe it's time we start mixing rich children and poor children together in the classroom to both enrich their lives and to create the kind of society we really want to live in. We know we can't guarantee the same outcomes for all children, but decades after Brown, why have we not figured out a way to guarantee every child in America -- regardless of race or income -- a place at the same starting line?””
