I think the American dream is the good society. It’s the city on the hill. It’s what the Founding Fathers talked about, where justice is a way of life, where fundamental rights of citizenship are honored, where the individual counts, but where pulling together in the spirit of all being in the same boat can achieve more than any individual can in isolation or independently. I think it means education. This country was founded on the idea that education for all — education at its best — is not just good for the individual, it’s essential to the system. The system won’t work unless we have an educated population. Democracy demands it. It’s the old line in Jefferson: “Any nation that expects to be ignorant and free, expects what never was and never will be.”
