As the media is covering from every angle, we have reason to be mourning a very important man today.   There is much much coverage, and many many articles.  I would like to steer you to just one that will remind us of the champion this man was to the children of America: the children, the littlest, the most powerless, the ones Jonathan Kozol writes about, who needed someone on their side.  Senator Kennedy was that champion in many ways.   The children of America lost a good friend today.

(and for those, including me sometimes, who don’t have much good to say about No Child Left Behind — it may not be the bill that didn’t work – it may be that it was never funded under Bush the way it should have been).

Good-bye Mr. Kennedy from the littlest citizens of America.  I hope you have a great time with Mr. Rogers!
