There were discussions regarding the impact a takeover would have on black/brown children. Comm. Mills said the ‘race card’ was not valid - considering ‘black women on the board - are the ones who ousted the black-woman superindent!’ A collective gasp from residents! @3onyourside https://t.co/WR8mbhnYQ5
