The most segregated times —Rev. Leroy Butler about CUEE @ LCDP 2 May 2011

Rev. Leroy Butler, the only CUEE board member from the county outside of Valdosta, talked about his experiences at Pinevale High School and VSU. He agreed with Rev. Rose that there is more camaraderie in homogeneous groups such as Sunday morning, the most segregated times. He said it’s time for a change.
We need to come up with some strategies whereby we get more parental involvement.
He made several other suggestions for improving education, and then he said:
It takes money to do that. And that’s why I’m looking at CUEE.
It seems pretty clear from what several of the speakers said that CUEE’s unification proposal is about getting financial resources from the county. Money’s still no use unless there’s a plan for improving education.

Here’s the video:
