Yes, that's the viewpoint. That viewpoint is also incredibly racist. A phrase like "want someone of their own kind" is something I expect to hear from a KKK member.

My "own kind" includes people of all races, religions, genders, and ethnicities. If you separate people based on their race, don't trust people based on their race, etc, you're a racist.

Poor analogy.

What you would hear from the KKK is that the school board would be 100% white Christian males, and they don't want anyone who isn't one of them.

There is a difference between wanting representation and wanting to exclude all other representation.

There is a difference between men thinking no women deserve a seat on the board, and women demanding equal seats on the board.

Again - I won't comment on what is fair. But I will draw a line between the difference.
