“we speak frequently of America's security needs and we do it with understanding. It is important to understand, though, that the strength and security of our Nation requires more than bombs and bullets and our brave men and women in uniform. The future of our great country will be determined by our children and our grandchildren, and their futures in turn will be shaped by the education they receive today. So what is a higher priority for America than educating our children and making sure all children have the tools and opportunity to succeed? In the future, classrooms and communities all across America will resemble those we already see in the State of Nevada where students from racial and ethnic minorities comprise an increasing percentage of the school population. The Clark County School District, Las Vegas, is the sixth largest school district in America, with about 240,000 students. Over 25 percent of those students are Hispanic, and we support programs that provide all students the resources they need.”
