From the article:

“But Laster has long been supportive of school choice. She home-schooled her now-adult children. Until recently, her youngest son and grandson attended district schools, but they faced racist discipline, she said. She recently moved her grandson into a charter school, hopeful that it might serve him better.

She has watched district schools fail black students for decades, she says, arguing: How could anyone blame her for wanting better?

She speculates that the NAACP is merely doing the bidding of the state teachers union, the California Teachers Association, and insinuates that NAACP leadership are the ones getting paid off. Joette Spencer Campbell, who was involved in the San Bernardino branch resolution, echoed the sentiment, telling HuffPost via email, “That corrupt culture is why [California] state NAACP leadership is so quick to falsely accuse their own branches of being paid-off.””
