WEEKEND QUOTABLES

In the wake of the largest U.S. immigration raid in a decade, educators in Mississippi this week were left to console and support children with detained parents.

Celina Moreno, the president of Intercultural Development Research Assoc.

It's a time for schools to proclaim very loudly that all of their students are valuable ... that they're not expendable and their families are not expendable. School districts should also develop emergency plans so they're not left scrambling if an immigration raid leaves children traumatized or homeless. -- Edweek

Steve Bannon

"President Trump is not a racist." -- Interview. Then ["Grits ain't grocery, eggs ain't poultry..." -- Little Milton].

Joe Biden

"Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids.” -- Town hall in DesMoines

Beto O'Rourke on Trump's Epstein-conspiracy theory

"He’s changing the conversation if we allow him to do that then we will never be able to focus on the true problem, of which he is a part." -- The Hill
