“…the test of a civilized society is how it deals with the weak, the sick, and the powerless. As William Blake wrote:
A Dog starv’d at his master’s Gate
Predicts the ruin of the State.
A Horse misus’d upon the Road
Calls to Heaven for Human blood…
… and so the great test of the state is the state of the public schools…
Garrison Keillor
