Rosa DeLauro actually said...

"We stand by the decision to move in the direction that we did."

"Thank you for the sacrifices you have made to help students of all ages, races, sexes, and backgrounds to reach for the American Dream."

"It is unacceptable that schools and school systems that predominantly serve students of color are often considerably more underfunded than schools that serve White populations."

"It is unconscionable that we still have teachers forced to take money out of their own pockets to buy paper, pencil, even food for their students."
