” President Trump’s comments yesterday on Charlottesville  were a failure of moral leadership. Let’s be clear. There can be no moral equivalence between white supremacists and neo-Nazis, and those who stand up to bigotry. There can be no “fine people” who march with those chanting racist words. More than ever, for our neighborhoods, communities, and schools we need a message of calm, healing, and affirmation of our nation’s highest ideals.”
