When I fight about what is going on in the neighborhood, or when I fight about what is happening to other people's children, I'm doing that because I want to leave a community and a world that is better than the one I found.

When Jesus Christ asked little children to come to him, he didn't say only rich children, or White children, or children with two-parent families, or children who didn't have a mental or physical handicap. He said, "Let all children come unto me."

The future is not an inheritance, it is an opportunity and an obligation.

When we give what we can and give it with joy, we don't just renew the American tradition of giving, we also renew ourselves.

Marian wright-edelman makes a good point about non discrimination even in biblical times. Although it was present, there are many times it was not. Those who follow the bible should be aware of the discrepancies and choose for themselves.
ReplyDeleteI love all the quotes from Marian Wright-Edelman. Children should not be discriminated against based on race, gender, money, family background, or any other reason. Discrimination is a factor in many schools and something we as educators must deal with and be prepared for.
ReplyDeleteHi LaKenya, we have great taste because we chose the same people! I love the quotes by these two individuals; leaders in the field. I completely agree with the first quotes by Wright. With my love for the field, I am determined to leave my community better than what I found it. If I can only change one persons life, I will be satisfied knowing some family was helped! I loved your blog, thanks!
