Secretary of Education Nominee: It’s Our Responsibility to Take This Moment ‘to Forge Opportunity out of Crisis’

‘It’s our privilege, to take this moment and to do the most American thing imaginable’

EXCERPT:

CARDONA: “Though we are beginning to see some light at the end of the tunnel, we also know that this crisis is ongoing, that we will carry its impacts for years to come. And that the problems and inequities that have played our educational system since long before Covid will still be us, even after the virus has gone. So it's our responsibility, it's our privilege to take this moment and to do the most American thing imaginable, to forge opportunity out of crisis, to draw on our resolve, our ingenuity, and our tireless optimism as a people and build something better than we've ever had before. That's a choice that Americans make every day. It's a choice that defines us as Americans.”
