I have been troubled lately by the school violence and apparent polarization among people in our country.  Fortunately I watched an inspiring program last night on PBS called American Creed.  A vignette in the program showed people on the street pledging an Oath to America.

My commitment to continue to excellence in education every day is renewed when I realize that we have a common bond represented in the words of the oath.  Please read the Oath again as I have, and feel heartened that we can find strength in our shared American Creed.
