Quote from Crash Course

I love this quote from Chris Whittle's book, Crash Course (www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1594482195/tilsoncapitalpar), a book I really enjoyed by the way:

Imagine that upon your arrival at an airline ticket counter, you are told that only 65 percent of the flights to your intended destination actually even arrive. The remainder crash en route. And, if you are a child of color, or poor, you are required to fly on special, poorly maintained planes of which only 35 percent make it.

Sounds crazy, right? But this is exactly the deal that, as a nation, we are serving up daily to millions of children in thousands of our public schools.
