""What I've learned is that the number one thing we need to make sure that happens in our schools is that our students are safe. And when our students are safe, it's not just physically safe. They have to feel like their voices are heard, and they have to be a part of the decision-making process. That's how you know there's strong safety in school.""
""We want schools that are integrated so that our young people can learn to commit to vast differences. When they leave here, they're leaving into a polarized world and that won't change unless they have the ability to connect with people that are different from them.""
