* Erin's entire speech to the class after seeing the racist drawing of Jamal. In fact, it's so awesome that the last part of it has been reproduced here for your reading pleasure.
-->'''Erin''': So when you die, you'll get respect, is that what you think?
-->'''Students''': ''[in unison]'' Yeah.
-->'''Erin''': Do you know what'll happen when you ''die?'' You're gonna ''rot in the ground'', and people are gonna go on living! And they're gonna forget all about you! And when you ''rot'', d'you think it'll matter that YOU were an ''ORIGINAL GANGSTER?!'' You're ''dead!'' And no one -- ''NO ONE'' is gonna wanna remember you, because ''all'' you left behind in the world -- ''[holds up racist drawing]'' -- is '''''THIS!'''''
* After Margaret and another teacher attempt to convince the superintendent that Erin should not be allowed to teach the students again their junior year, feeling threatened in their positions rather than actually caring about the students and even trying to use Erin's divorce against her, the superintendent allows Erin to teach her class again their junior AND senior years, much to their elation.
