I want there to be a place in the world where people can engage in one another’s differences in a way that is redemptive, full of hope and possibility.

I think all of us have really got to redouble our efforts, first of all, to pay attention to the K-12 crisis. The sad fact is that I can look at your zip code and tell whether you're going to get a good education. That's not fair.
