"The burden on educators and families has been tremendous: taking a toll on the mental health and well-being of our children, parents, educators, and staff."

"I think that it is critically important that education systems and educators respect the rights of all students, including students who are transgender."

"Our nation's education challenges didn't begin with the pandemic, but it has exacerbated inequities in our educational system."

"These inequities will endure, and prevent the potential of this great country, unless tackled head-on."
