This week, we saw the best and worst of America. In these moments, we see implications for public education. The best America was on display in Georgia, where record turnout inspired by years of community engagement and voter registration that brought hundreds of thousands of new voters into the democratic process elected the first Black man and first Jewish man to represent Georgia in the United States Senate. That a Republican Secretary of State supervised this historic election, while rebutting baseless claims of fraud, serves to underscore Americans’ dedication to the rule of law, and the power of the people.
