Steve Kerr

It was the courts, of course, that took away prayer from our schools, that took away Bible reading from our schools. It's the courts that gave us same-sex marriage. So it is quite a battlefield, and the Supreme Court is the highest court in the land.

Bob Taft

Schools are successful only insofar as they reduce the dependence of a child's opportunities upon his social origins.
James S. Coleman
