Public school budget cuts a symptom of systemic corruption | Opinion

“Where am I going with this anti-corruption rant? I’m fighting against accepting the unacceptable, normalizing the abnormal and turning down the outrage when really, we need to turn it up. Maybe these words won’t change anything, at least not in the short term. But I’m hoping they will help to make sure that I don’t change, that my moral compass is not reset to zero – and that you will join me in refusing to turn a blind eye to the moral, financial and political corruption all around us.”
