Anti-Bias Education and Why It Matters
We find these joys to be self-evident: That all children are created whole, endowed with innate intelligence, with dignity and wonder, worthy of respect. The embodiment of life, liberty and happiness, children are original blessings, here to learn their own song. Every [child] is entitled to love, to dream and belong to a loving “village.” And to pursue a life of purpose.

Equal rights, fair play, justice, are all like the air; we all have it, or none of us has it.
