During the decades after Brown v. Board of Education there was terrific progress. Tens of thousands of public schools were integrated racially. During that time the gap between black and white achievement narrowed.

An awful lot of people come to college with this strange idea that there's no longer segregation in America's schools, that our schools are basically equal; neither of these things is true.
Jonathan Kozol

I think a lot of people don't have any idea of how deeply segregated our schools have become all over again. Most textbooks are not honest in what they teach our high school students.
Jonathan Kozol

Nationally, overwhelmingly non-white schools receive $1,000 less per pupil than overwhelmingly white schools.
Jonathan Kozol

I wish I had more time to visit schools.
Cornelia Funke

I would like to teach music. It's weird the way they teach music in schools like Julliard these days.
Bjork

The Supreme Court is having a hard time integrating schools. What chance do I have to integrate audiences?
Nat King Cole

I went to the public schools myself. And they were great for me.
Charles Schumer

I don't think the schools are getting as much money as they should.
Matt Gonzalez

Before the eighth grade, I probably went to seven or eight different schools.
Jeremy London

I do not think that the educational program of our schools should be determined by what the community thinks it needs.
Sargent Shriver

So I want my kids to go to public schools because I think it's a better education overall.
Charles Schumer

We need to make sure that the fast-growing States and the balance of States in this country have as much information as available because I cannot imagine the pain as a parent myself of having my child molested by someone in our schools.
Jon Porter

We have an epidemic of sexual predators following our children, whether it be on the computers, whether it be in our public parks, whether it be in the workplace, or even our schools.
Jon Porter

Many students graduate from college and professional schools, including those of social work, nursing, medicine, teaching and law, with crushing debt burdens.
Jon Porter

I've been in this business for a long time at my age, I've just turned 30, and I feel like my wife's career is going incredibly well, my kids are happy and healthy in schools, we've both been able to buy a house for our parents, respectively, in the places they live.
Ryan Phillippe

I don't like schools. And I mean, you have to call on all your friends to get them into their schools.
Eydie Gorme

I had no real education because I was in and out of schools so I decided that I would completely change my look, change my image, change my name and move to New York.
Morgan Brittany

I have wanted to be a fine artist painter, and I reached the point in art schools were I'd like to understand more about images and how images communicate information to people. And I was not getting very far in that from my professors.
John Hench

I saw how many people were poor and how many kids my age went to school hungry in the morning, which I don't think most of my contemporaries in racially segregated schools in the South thought very much about at the time.
