Unite for our children

Playing the "blame game" is old hat and essentially nonproductive, fueling more circular argument and polarization (divide and conquer is not a wise strategy). Precious time and energy go to waste, and our children's educational fate slowly spirals downward.

Yes, I said our children, for I believe we are not only our brother's keeper but, more importantly, our children's keeper.

We, the team, consisting of all individuals involved in the lives of the children — parents, guardians, educators, clergy, caretakers, caseworkers and the like — must unite to foster the success of children. We must be willing to sacrifice our time, talent and finances (we must sacrifice equally, not give equally) toward our greatest treasure — our children; for where your heart is, there will your treasure be also.

James Fuller and Johnny Hodge saw something different. They saw a black coach and a white coach...I saw two great college coaches passionate about what they do. I feel sorry for those that see it differently.
