Mentioned by L.H. in Developing a Pedagogy Matters Manifesto. She includes this quote by Kay McClenney: "If we can't find ways to more effectively educate beyond the high school level, larger numbers of our population, including especially those that have traditionally been underserved, we as a country are going to sink like a rock. This is not the right time in our history to be saying, oh, we were only kidding about educational opportunity to low-income people, students of color, first generation college students. They're the future. They are the growing majority of the American population and we can't choose to close that door."
