“ More elite the education, more disconnected the person is from reality. ”
― Abhaidev, Notes from the Edge of Sanity

Coleman Hughes
“ By [college], many skills, attitudes, and habits have already been formed. We can have a much bigger impact on people at younger ages. Efforts to achieve true equity should focus instead on high-quality kindergarten and pre-K, high-quality weekend learning programs, high-quality charter schools, and high-quality after-school tutoring. ”
― Coleman Hughes, The End of Race Politics: Arguments for a Colorblind America
