My first task is to get [the children] back in school where they belong. But it has to be under a safe environment.

This mother did everything she could to bring this to [District 50's] attention, and they did nothing.

I feel outraged that many years after the civil-rights movement, we are still living with racial problems.

We wanted a community activity where everyone in town would read one book and we wanted the children to be involved.

It's disappointing that the Maxim Institute is calling for school zones to be scrapped and for the introduction of a voucher system, when these policies have been tried and have failed.

[During the interview with the family, the children] all seemed to be in agreement with their mom, ... they all seemed spontaneous in their comments.
