Apologetic Georgia principal blames ‘the devil’ for racist remark at graduation ceremony

In a fleeting moment of frustration, “the devil” — and not deep-seated racial prejudice — prompted a Georgia high school principal to make racist remarks at a graduation ceremony on Friday.

That’s according to TNT Academy Principal Nancy Gordeuk, who has stepped forward to apologize after she was captured on cellphone video condemning people for leaving early by saying: “Look who’s leaving… all the black people.”

(and holy shit, not only is her son a racist like mama but he's illiterate too)

On Saturday, Gordeuk’s son came to her defense on his Facebook page, posting his address and telling critics of his mother to come see him face to face.

“What was rude wad somone standing up during the ceremony and walking around with a tablet with somthing wrote on it that was rude now regaurdless my moma not racist one bit she’s done nothing but help kids so yall need to get stories straight,” he wrote, prompting numerous responses.

On hour later, Gordeuk followed up with a second post repeating the invitation, but this time including a racial epithet.

This, I think, is what is most damaging about religion. The truly evil fucks are not significant in the grand scheme of things - it's these childish idiots who take no responsibility for their own actions. Everything inconvenient is the result of magical forces one way or another, "God's plan," or "the devil's work." These people are adults who think like children.
