This is why I went down to Mississippi before anybody knew about the reading scores, because I pay attention to this.
Not that others don't, but they went from 49 to 9.
You have a president of the United States who's never mentioned it.
No governor has called for an emergency meeting like you had other governors of both parties.
Mayors aren't doing anything.
You don't have a Department of Education, and people have accepted...
failure, and 50% of our kids can't read in third grade level, which doesn't make fourth and fifth and sixth grade in high school any easier.
You have to prioritize what's an A and a B. I'm going to make sure children feel accepted.
And the best way to make sure they feel accepted is they know reading, math, and high school graduation.
One of the things we did in Chicago, only city to do it, only education system, nobody gets a high school degree

You can't have a free market system with corruption.
They're inconsistent.
And for all these corporate leaders that have bitten their tongue in the destruction of the rule of law and replacing kind of how much you can buy access and influence and making it the norm, it is undermining the most important thing, which is a system based on law and free of corruption and doesn't accept the degradation corruption brings to the free market.
