WEEKEND QUOTABLES

Ethnic studies illegal in Arizona
“There’s a fierce anti-Latino sentiment in this state. These courses are about justice and equity, and what is happening is that the Legislature is trying to narrow the reality of those things. Who are the true Americans here — those embracing our inalienable rights or those trying to diminish them?”-- Augustine F. Romero, New York Times
No room at the reform table for educators
"A big part of the problem is that the conversation has been hijacked by corporate leaders who think they know best how to improve our schools." -- Greg Michie, author of Holler if you hear me, at The Answer Sheet.
U.S. ignores education funding at own peril
"Over the long term, the only way we're going to raise wages, grow the economy and improve American competitiveness is by investing in our people - especially their educations." --Robert Reich, S.F. Chronicle.
On Arizona shootings 
"We have nothing whatsoever to do with this," --Palin aide Rebecca Mansour, CBS News
