                                    -  June 23, 2022  Secretary Cardona's Remarks on the U.S. Department of Education’s Release of Proposed Amendments to Title IX  
Good morning.

Throughout American history, landmark laws have brought waves of change that carried our country toward a more perfect union.

Before the Fair Labor Standards Act, many children didn't spend their days learning in schools, but working in factories.

Before the 1964 Civil Rights Act, Black Americans had no federal statutory protection from the racial discrimination of the Jim Crow era.

                                    -  January 27, 2022  Secretary Cardona's Vision for Education in America  
I remember being five-years-old, walking into my first day of kindergarten at John Barry School in Connecticut, nervous.  At that time, I was learning English. I felt like I didn't belong. It turned out to be a horrible day. My mom had to pick me up early from the nurse's office.  I'm not sure if it was the feeling of being overwhelmed, being around bigger kids who spoke English a lot better than me, or maybe a feeling that the challenge ahead of me was too great.
