Friend,
I agree with the poet William Butler Yeats: "Education should not be the filling of a pail; it should be the lighting of a fire."
Education is more than a pathway to a better job; it is a gateway to a more empowered life. Good universal education is essential to a democracy because it gives the tools to all citizens to think, and to act, with the power that is necessary for self-governance.
A world class education should be the right of every American citizen, not only for the sake of the individual citizen but for the sake of the country.
That is why I want to be president. My goal will be that within ten years every public school in America will be a palace of learning, culture and the arts. Will you donate now to help me bring this goal to life?

Millions of American children today are locked out of the system before the age of ten years old, statistically more apt to be incarcerated at some point in their life than to achieve a high school diploma.
The under-education of any American child is unacceptable, in fact it is a passive form of oppression. The United States is the only country that funds our public education through property taxes, ensuring that children from poorer neighborhoods receive a poorer education, thus deepening the roots of wealth inequality. Educational inequality is both the result of income inequality, and the cause of more of it.
Millions of American children each day go to schools that do not even have functioning toilets, and lack the minimum school supplies necessary to teach a child to read. A child who cannot read by the age of eight is less likely to graduate from high school, and more likely to one day be incarcerated.
This is more than an educational issue; it is a human rights issue. In the richest country in the world, it must become our highest priority for every American child to receive a world class education.
I will not be a President who advocates for huge corporate entities; I will be a President who advocates for people and planet. When I am president, the American child will have a more passionate advocate in the Oval Office than ever before.
Read here to see the entirety of my Education platform [[link removed]] , an example of the many plans I have by which to initiate a season of American repair.
We can get to the White House, but it will take a lot of work – and a lot of money. I hope you will give generously to the campaign, so we can create an administration that gives generously to America.
