A two-fer for you this week:
The affirmative task we have now is to actually create a new world order, because the global order is changing again, and the institutions of the world that worked so well in the post-World War II era for decades, they need to be strengthened, and some need to be changed.
-U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, at last Friday’s annual conference of the Export-Import Bank of the United States
We have never invested as much in public education as we should have, because we’ve always had kind of a private notion of children- your kid is yours and totally your responsibility. We haven’t had a very collective notion of these are our children.
So part of it is we have to break through our kind of private idea that kids belong to their parents, or kids belong to their families, and recognize that kids belong to whole communities.
Once it’s everybody’s responsibility and not just the household’s, then we start making better investments.
-Melissa Harris-Perry, a Tulane political science professor and host of the MSNBC show Melissa Harris-Perry, in a recent MSNBC “Lean Forward” spot
