Mix Militancy With Finesse

The Coalition for Educational Justice is an enlightened and principle-driven organization that fights hard for equal treatment for all races. Its officials do not compromise their core beliefs. The stakes are too high and justice has already been deferred for centuries. They properly practice the virtue of impatience. And so they have energized the parent-engagement movement and sought a more-balanced representation of school staff to reflect the cultures and identifications of the communities they serve.

Equating actual practice with idle theories of educational opportunity does not sit well with them. They are activists. But sometimes, what is inarguable in conception may be problematic in execution.
