Why doesn’t anyone care that the schools in Harlem have been unsuccessful for half a century? Why is this not a big deal? To me, it’s a terrible deal. Eva Moskowitz Read Quote

We must renew our commitment to instilling high moral character in our students, to teaching them to treat each other with kindness, to stand up for what is right, and to respect the diversity of backgrounds and experiences that strengthen our country. Eva Moskowitz Read Quote

Those are the poorest kids. Eva Moskowitz Read Quote
