1. Highlight from Klein:

   As a product of public schools, you would seem a walking advertisement for the system. So why are you so convinced public schools need reform?
   I got a terrific education in Astoria. Back then, my teachers never seemed to say to me, “Because you live in public housing, we shouldn’t expect great things from you.” But the more people believe that education won’t make their kids’ lives better, the more we’re going to undermine the American experience.

2. Thanks for the quote, phillip. The absurdity is breathtaking. So is this gem from Darth Klein: “I saw myself as somebody who’s comfortable speaking truth to power.”
