Marlyn Tillman, president of the Gwinnett chapter of the NAACP spoke with the AJC about the benefits of school board diversity emphasizing the impact on demographics she endorses. She cites data showing graduation rates from black and Latino students below that of white students as proof that racial diversity is needed on the board. The last nail in her intellectual coffin was driven home when she was quoted as saying
"You are not turning out the majority population as graduates and for higher-level learning opportunities."But one thing has proven true: adding blacks and Latinos to school boards ensures more students of color are given diplomas. Someday someone in this sad situation may actually learn something.
