Comment on NAACP v Fayette County BOE

Unfortunately, the County is forcing us to use our precious resources – money that should be going into the pockets of teachers rather than the pockets of lawyers – to wage a political battle over the technical interpretation of the Voting Rights Act. Our country has become a better place since the Voting Rights Act was passed and it is my job, as a father and as a school board member, to continue to move us forward. I am hopeful that our children will someday live in a world where no one feels disenfranchised, where disputes such as this are read about in history books not on the front pages, and where racial differences no longer divide us.
