The Georgia principal, who went on a vicious rant during her school’s graduation ceremony, going as far as making racially charged comments when saying “all the black people” has been terminated, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Georgia NAACP president Francys Johnson confirmed to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that Nancy Gordeuk “has been released.”
Georgia Principal claims she was frustrated”
After the comments, Nancy Gordeuk, claims that she was frustrated everyone was leaving when she asked them to stay because she forgot to include the valedictorian speech.
In the video, Gordeuk can be heard saying, “you people are being so rude not to listen to this speech. It was my fault that we missed it in the program. Look who’s leaving, all the Black people.”
You hear a gasp from the audience, and then people began getting out of their seats and leaving.
In an email sent to the NAACP, TNT Academy board of directors chair Heidi Anderson wrote the board had moved to dismiss Gordeuk, who previously said “the devil was in the house and came out from my mouth” when she made a controversial remark about black people leaving Friday’s graduation ceremony.
“In light of recent events, the board of directors of TNT Academy has moved to dismiss Nancy Gordeuk as principal,” Anderson said in the email, which the state NAACP sent to The AJC.
“During the coming transition, we will continue to prioritize support for our most recent graduates. Moreover, we will continue our commitment to providing students with the best educational classes, transcription services and academic credit recovery possible.”
