Barbara Boxer said "Education, in my view, is the No. 1 issue in this country today. Why? Because we know that if we do not give our children a good education, a series of bad things happen: They will not be productive, they will drop out, they will get into trouble, and all the rest. We are now in the global marketplace. We all know this. I daresay everyone on both sides of the aisle says that education is important." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
