There’s an update to the news article that gives more info on the motive: https://www.theroot.com/watch-white-father-pulls-a-karen-with-black-superinten-1851522863

The father and superintendent apparently had previous problems and the father planned to interfere in the graduation ceremony. I’m still not convinced it wasn’t racially motivated, but regardless the man needs help.

I’m also a late Gen X. Please, please, PLEASE don’t group us with Boomers. We’re nothing like them and proud of it.

They are a very influential, very conservative American think tank. They advocate for things like anti-communism, neoconservativism, the Christian right, smaller government, bigger military, traditional family values, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, white supremecist ideas, voting restrictions - generally all the most destructive policies of the last 50 years.

Given that the source of this opinion piece is The Heritage Foundation I'm skeptical.
