"Education is a precondition to survival in America today." ― Marian Wright Edelman Topic(s): Teacher More From Marian Wright Edelman "There should not be one new dime in tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires as long as millions of children in America are poor, hungry, uneducated and without health coverage." "I try to act out of faith." "Together we can and must fight for justice for our children and protect them from draconian tax cuts and budget choices that threaten their survival, education and preparation for the future. If they are not ready for tomorrow, neither is America."
