THE CHAIRMAN: You may proceed.

10

DELEGATE KEY: Mr. Chairman and fellow delegates,

11

I would like to set the record straight a little bit. I

12

think I have enough children in the school system to make

13

up for all of the other members on the Minority Report,

14

and to go a step further, I think my children are more

15

dependent on this public school system than anybody else's

16

children in this room, defying any of. you to say otherwise.

17

There are three things that a parent wants to give his

18

children: financial security, a good education, and social

19

contacts. My kids have two strikes against them. I ain't

20

got no money, and I don't have any social background, and

21

I am dependent on you to give them a good education.
