Racist. That's the adjective describing the father that's - somehow, miraculously - missing from the quoted excerpt.
So the superintendent is the black guy in the video? That makes way more sense, I was thinking the complaints mentioned in the article were sexual or political or something along those lines and was pretty annoyed that there was no elaboration.
It's actually missing from the entire article, an article which had the time to mention how there's a group trying to have a school board member recalled (without telling us how big or small the group is, who their members are and what other organizations they're connected to (e.g. Moms for Liberty)), list all of the group's alleged grievances (without looking into whether any of them have any validity), and link to the group's Facebook page (without discussing the prevalence of misinformation on those pages).
Lovely. MAGA racists are getting emboldened.
Baraboo, Wisconsin.
Superintendent Briggs is black, the man and his daughter are white.
Followed the Facebook links. There's a lot of infighting in this small school district - major teacher rollover a few years ago and, as it mentions, parents are trying to get rid of the superintendent and school board President. I prefer to think that this is about local school politics than jumping on the racism train. However, this is the school with the Nazi salute photo from a couple of years ago, so ...
Superintendent is black. These parents are simply racist.
Recent diplomas being rescinded comes to mind
Is being black his only trait?
Found this while looking around ...
The anonymous donor has pledged additional funds to the district to combat discrimination in Baraboo schools since a photo of Baraboo students giving what appeared to be a Nazi salute in front of the Sauk County Courthouse surfaced in 2018, Vodak said.
Adding this ...
Dasia Banks’ 30-page complaint was filed in federal court on Wednesday and contends that teachers and school officials failed to stop violent and racist bullying and exhibited “deliberate indifference” to the problem when faced with complaints. The suit was previously reported by Wisconsin State Journal, and was sure to bring fresh scrutiny to a district previously embroiled in scandal over a viral photo of students giving a Nazi salute.
His poor daughter's day of achievement was marred by his stupid-ass behavior. Sucks to grow up under him. Hope she gets lots of therapy and outside support.
I hope she gets lots of handshakes
Bet he secretly watches black porn
He should rescind the diploma until she shakes his hand
What was the cheering about in the end?
If I were to guess, the racist community that cheered when the racist students held up Nazi salutes in front of the courthouse were cheering that a racist dad didn't want his daughter to touch the hand of the black superintendent.
