Bill Lee said "There has to be the political will to do that, and the future has to be a priority in terms of the budget priority. You have to see young people as being our future, those who are going to really take over the world, and we have not invested in our young people. We have not developed an educational system that will allow them to develop, learn and grow and move forward. Again, Leave No Child Behind is a classic example. It is $9.4 billion underfunded." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
