Principal Accused Of Racism For Telling Rude Black People They Were Acting Rudely

Black activists may screaming that our whole society is racist, but one thing they overlook is they are not held accountable for their actions in the court of public opinion. If a black man attacks a police officer; that cop is racist. If a black man is arrested for committing a crime; the criminal justice system is racist. And if a high school principal tells a group of black people who are behaving rudely that they are behaving rudely, yup you guessed it, that principal is racist.
My Fox Atlanta is reporting that the principal of TNT Academy in Lilburn, GA is taking heat for what is being described as “offensive remarks” during the school’s graduation ceremony. Basically what she did was point out that it was rude for black audience members to leave before the valedictorian gave his speech.
There was a man, whose race has not been revealed but let’s assume he was black for reasons that will soon be obvious, that was standing in front of the stage blocking attendee’s view while he recorded the ceremony on his tablet. The man was asked several times to take his seat and to stop disrupting the festivities, but he refused. Eventually school security was called and escorted the man out.
Black members of the audience, parents and students, began booing as the man was taken from the auditorium. The man possibly had harsh words for the school as he was getting the boot, which seems to have prompted Nancy Gordeuk, the school’s principal, to call him a “coward.” At this point, many black audience members who supported the ejected man, got up and began leaving before the valedictorian could give his speech.
Now here comes the big moment of “racism.” As black audience members were rudely exiting, Gordeuk said, “Look who’s leaving, all the black people.”
Gordeuk defended her appropriate actions like this:
The facts are the rude booing from my perspective facing the audience condoning the actions of this man, are coming from the younger people in the audience. What if ten or twenty persons came and started videotaping the audience in the middle of a speech. Is that disrespect to the person trying to make his speech? Or does that mean everyone can just do as they please?
One black parent in attendance said, “Everyone was just in shock everybody was like, wow I can’t believe she just said that.”
Lynette Holloway of The Root went a step further calling Gordeuk’s remark a “racial slur.” Really? Pointing out that black people are leaving is a racial slur?
Were black people leaving? Yes. Were blacking people being rude to the class valedictorian? Absolutely. And yet, the principal is the bad guy here because she pointed this out.
Gordeuk issued an apology saying:
I sincerely apologize to all the persons in attendance at the ceremony for the actions of the few causing the disturbance and for my emotional, un-called generalization of the black persons in attendance. I deeply apologize for my actions made in the emotional state of trying to let this last student finish his speech.
She wasn’t generalizing all black people, she made an accurate observation of the black people in attendance. There’s a huge difference.
As outrage grows over this non-incident, it seems likely that the principal will end up getting fired for “racially insensitive” comments. I don’t think principals have the same teacher’s union protection that keeps child molesters in our children’s classrooms.
