Quality Education -- A Moral Imperative

"I shall create! If not a note, a hole.
If not an overture, a desecration."

These lines from the Gwendolyn Brooks poem "boy breaking glass" speak volumes to the need of all people, children and youth included, to realize their dreams and live up to their God-given potential. And these lines also speak to the tragedy that happens when the cries for self- actualization within us are muted by the circumstances of life. All too often, the violence, crime, and self-destruction that we see in our urban areas is a cry to be heard, to make one's mark, to exert one's influence over something, even if that influence is more harmful than constructive.

It's what gives the young men in our ghettos a sick sense of power by committing crimes

it's what makes my daughter love Bisou....
