“The fact that no matter how poor you are in the United States, your kids are assured a free education… K through 12. That wasn’t a given. That was something that was fought for decades, and it was achieved. And it was a major social accomplishment. And it’s a model that we just accept that that’s the way it is in public schools. And we’ve got to expand it to pre-K and to free colleges… but that model can be used for other sectors.” Jerome Segal, Democratic primary candidate for Senate in the State of Maryland.
