00:00I'm going to read you a little bit of what's going on in the world right now.
00:05Millions of American kids struggle to read.
00:10Americans need universal access to quality education.
00:15When I first started teaching in Oakland, there were only two kids in my class of 35 who could read.
00:22In 35 years, we have gone backwards, not forwards.
00:25We have a lot of people who struggle to read. Why aren't we screaming and yelling about this?
00:29Larry went to the camp.
00:34My man Larry just read his first sentence by himself, and I'm very, very proud of him.
00:39It is a national problem that cuts across demographics, but it's painted as a minority issue.
00:46For as long as I can ever remember, I've wanted to be a teacher.
00:49This school is the lowest performing in reading in the district.
00:55So this is a civil rights issue. We're really trying to figure out how to get Oakland kids to read.
00:59Reading is everything. That's the foundation to everything in this life.
01:03It has been said that illiteracy is one of the most solvable issues of our time.
01:09What letter is it?
01:10One!
01:11Yeah!
01:12Everybody deserves the right to read. Literacy is for all.
01:16We want to make sure that all students have the opportunity to be with a teacher who has learned the science of reading in order to crack the code of reading.
01:29The question is today, do we have the political will and do we have the moral courage and fortitude to use literacy as a vehicle to include all?
01:39This is social justice.
