I hope the inspiring stories and contributions of my fellow honorees will shine a bright light on FDLA and this most important mission.”

“I believe that the teachers unions are doing exactly what they're supposed to be doing. They were designed to be professional organizations that protect the rights and privileges and pay of their members. The problem is that we don't have an organized national interest group with the same heft as the teachers union that's advocating on behalf of children.”
