Breakdown
“Long ago the Jewish people came to the conclusion that
to defend a country you need an army. But to defend a
civilization you need schools. The single most important social
institution is the place where we hand on our values to the
next generation — where we tell our children where we’ve come
from, what ideals we fought for, and what we learned on the
way. Schools are where we make children our parents in the
long and open-ended task of making a more gracious world.”
