Graduation ceremony in Georgia

Holy cow indeed.😱 How can you be so dumb and so out of touch to even say things like that?
 
What an idiot. How can someone that brain dead found anything, much less a school?

What was the speech nobody was listening to that she seemed so pissed about?

The valedictorian was supposed to speak before her but she accidentally jumped ahead to her speech. Everyone was supposed to leave after she spoke, so she basically cut the valedictorian out of the graduation ceremony. When she realized her mistake she started calling everyone back but they kept leaving. After all the hard work the person put through to be valedictorian (not to mention, preparing the speech), it was a pretty major slight that she was desperate to make right... desperate enough to lock the remaining people in and reveal her true racist nature. It was a feeble attempt to shift blame after acting like she was taking responsibility.

Still confused.

Valedictorian was supposed to speak? Was he/she white or black?
Principal woman gets up and prohibits that speech? Why?
All hell breaks loose!
Profit?
 
I don't know why everything about this says "Nancy Gord-whatever, founder of TNT Academy..." as if we are supposed to know what TNT Academy is. A charter school? Private school? Technical college? What?! Looking at their .com website (note: not .edu) and I can barely tell that they are some kind of high school because it says that they may have just recently received accreditation as such. Still: Private? Charter? Secondary? Remedial? Still don't know.

She wasn't prohibiting it. She was appealing to the people who were leaving to come back and listen to the valedictorian's speech. It was her fault that they accidentally skipped it in the program.
 
That escalated quickly.

And how do you forget the valedictorian's speech in a graduation? How many speeches are there that they lost count?
 
she completely lost it, I found an article explaining what happened and the "little coward" was just someone who went up and took a pic with an ipad. She was so desperate to deflect attention that she wanted him to apologize because it was "rude" lol, and she said that AFTER she had said to come back for the speech, so it doesn't make any sense, she was looking for targets and her racism showed up.

same here, looks like it's some kind of barely recognized high school for drop-outs.
The website is horrible and confused with uninformative text.

I read on the daily mail that it's in a village of 5000 people, it has only 48 graduates this year, and it's oriented to independent study, basically no classes but you get a worthless piece of paper after doing piss easy tests. It managed to get some kind of accreditation because Georgia apparently has horribad schools anyway.

Anyway I'm happy that she killed her own business, there are too many of these fake schools preying on desperate people already.
 
Lilburn is in Stone Mountain which is metro Atlanta. It's a bit like listing Hollywood as a "small town" when it's part of Los Angeles (granted, Hollywood has WAY more than 5,000 people) or The Village when it's part of New York.

While the video doesn't tell the whole story, I hardly see how name calling and requesting the doors locked is "appealing for people to come back". The de facto segregation of that crowd does not make me surprised how quickly the situation escalates.

If that is an administrator of the school, then my guess is that her racism was known beforehand by many families there, which might explain why the white people seem at unease almost immediately.
 
I'm not making excuses for her and I never said she appealed correctly. She went about it the wrong way even before she broke down into overt racism but that doesn't mean I was wrong about what happened just before.

She UNSUCCESSFULLY appealed because she went about it incorrectly. How's that?

Haha, that works for me. As I said, the video only shows the end result, and if people were leaving in the middle of a speech, that is rude.
 
They might have even gone as far as dismissing everyone before she realized. Regardless, it was already a fiasco at the point that the video started.
