Son of Georgia high school principal: My mom isn't racist, so you n***ers need to stop talking shit!

Georgia high school principal under fire for racist comments at graduation: “Look who’s leaving — all the black people!”

A high school principal in Lilburn, Georgia has come under fire for making a racist remark during Friday night’s commencement ceremony. Video of the event shows that moments after Nancy Gordeuk accidentally dismissed the assembled crowd before all of the speakers were finished, she called out, “Look who’s leaving — all the black people!”

<...>


For her part, Gordeuk blames Satan. “The devil was in this house,” she said, “and he came out from my mouth. I deeply apologize for my racist comment and hope that forgiveness is in your hearts.”

On Saturday, Gordeuk’s son Travis took to Facebook to defend his mother’s honor, writing that “y’all niggers aren’t talking about shit so if u got somthing to say come see me face to face.” He added that “my moma not racist one bit she’s done nothing but help kids so y’all need ot get stories straight.”

this isn't surprising. i stopped listening to that crap. but when i first started to get interest in politics i would listen to a lot of the right wing crap.

these days you will see it all over the internet in forums, comments section in articles etc.

while the OP is worse case or rather more open the sentiment is still common among a too large number of people.

it is her school. I think it is private but gets tax supported subsidies (something about Georgia HOPE scholarship program for non-traditional study center). Someone in Georgia know more about what it actually is). The tuition amount is not listed on the website.

I went to the school's website and I still can't figure out how it is funded. I read the principal's bio - she has worked for a lot of different schools, doesn't sound like a very accomplished educator. The school is designed for at-risk kids, but the principal doesn't seem to have any experience with special education, kids with special needs, or anything relevant to the school's mission.

Looks like some kind of charter school. I suspect a scam where she is getting state money to run this alternative school. I wonder if there is a board.

But apparently she cannot teach him what she herself does not understand. He sounds just like her.

She calls his "girlfriend" a crack whore, and it's incredible that anyone ever thought this woman mature/responsible/human enough to head up a school.

...meet tree.

There may well have been evil in that room during that ceremony, but the words coming out of the principal's mouth were all her own.
