On the recordJune 7, 2001
One of my concerns in comparing countries is that we in the United States do not stress that we have very different values regarding universal free education for all children, kindergarten through the 12th grade. We take all. Whatever child walks in the door, whether that child has had breakfast, whether they have had a good night's sleep, whether they even had a bed or home in which to sleep the night before. We take all children. I believe that is a strength of the United States of America.
