Gatewood and several other people got angry because Dr. Regina George-Bowden was not chosen to chair the board. George-Bowden is black. Chairwoman Kathryn Meyers is white, and the vote to re-elect her was split along racial lines.

Some people in the black community couldn't handle the split decision along racial lines.

So, all of the white school board members voted for the white candidate for Chairperson, and all of the black school board members voted for the black candidate for Chairperson. Hopefully, because of this fact, it will prevent either side from accusing the other of racism.

But then again, maybe not.
