Jonathan Kozol Quotes

The Crowding Of Children Into Insufficient, Often Squalid Spaces Seems An Inexplicable Anomaly In The United States. Images Of Spaciousness And Majesty, Of Endless Plains And Soaring Mountains, Fill Our Folklore And Our Music And The Anthems That Our Children Sing. "This Land Is Your Land," They Are Told; And, In One Of The Patriotic Songs That Children Truly Love Because It Summons Up So Well The Goodness And The Optimism Of The Nation At Its Best, They Sing Of "good" And "brotherhood" "from Sea To Shining Sea." It Is A Betrayal Of The Best Things That We Value When Poor Children Are Obliged To Sing These Songs In Storerooms And Coat Closets.
