On the recordMarch 14, 2000
just going back to the list of the gentleman from North Carolina again, it is a lack of responsibility, a lack of caring, a lack of being honest, a lack of justice and fairness, a lack of respect. A word that is not up there but I think is encompassed in all of that I think is dignity. There is no dignity here if we are not teaching these points we are talking about here. But more importantly, if we are not demonstrating it on a daily basis in school construction and modernization, giving them the tools and making sure the teachers are prepared are really all a part of that. But right now, if we do not provide these, we are guilty of not showing the true dignity of the student and the individual and the human being.
