The article focuses on the use of segregation for political benefits in Georgia. The author of the article gives racial problem a political perspective. The article also provides important information regarding career of attorney general of Georgia, Eugene Cook. Members of the Georgia State Board of Education, which supervises all public elementary and secondary schools, are usually political appointees of the Governor. Recently these members passed a rule that any teacher of racially mixed classes would be barred for life from teaching in Georgia. Shortly thereafter, at the urging of Cook, they announced the same penalty for any teacher who joined the National Association for Advancement of Colored People.
