The father of a Baraboo High School graduate blocked his daughter from shaking the hand of the Black superintendent as she graduated, video of the incident shows.
The school district, which has had repeated problems with racism and antisemitism, held its graduation Friday. The father was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct, Wisconsin News reported.
The father, who has been identified as 49-year-old Matt Eddy, jumped on stage, grabbed the superintendent and began dragging him to the back of the stage.
Again, you’re giving massive benefit of the doubt by assuming the psychotic parent is not racist and that he’s telling the truth about the bullying situation, especially when his actions don’t seem to match his words.
Just because he says he’s not racist, doesn’t mean he’s not racist. And his actions look pretty damn racist.
Right, but not knowing doesn’t give the right to take either stance on whether he is or isn’t racist. You’re coming from an angle of guilty until proven innocent though.
But what he’s guilty of is assault, not racism right now (I’m honestly not even sure if racism is a crime in the US, so just take it as a way of phrasing this).
I’m not defending him because I think he’s right, but the mob mentality was going pretty hard in this chat…
