It's graduation season, and for some in a small Georgia town their special day was ruined when their principal yelled out racial remarks. According to Madame Noire, TNT Academy's founder and principal Nancy Gordeuk found herself in a storm after yelling to "all the black people" in the 2015 graduation class.
"You people are being so rude, to not listen to this speech. It was my fault that we missed it in the program," she exclaimed. "Look who's leaving...all the black people!"
Gordeuk's comments came after she revealed an error on the program. Gordeuk had left the valedictorian's name off of the order of the ceremony. When the audience believed that the graduation was over, they started to walking out. The crowd's exit angered the principal as she made her racial comments.
The parents, family, and friends of the graduates didn't know that there was one more part to the ceremony, which was the valedictorian's speech, so you couldn't blame them for getting up.
The site claims that the Lilburn Georgia school had already developed a reputation for being racist, and it seems the clips below prove it!

What the hell could this principal be thinking besides, "I want to lose my job"? https://t.co/NvW3nc5rye #TNTAcademy — Matthew Hogan (@MattNHLHogan) May 11, 2015
Sometimes I just wonder what people are thinking when they say things. The principal was completely out of line! #TNTAcademy

After being in shock, many people of all races left the auditorium. After the news spread across the nation, Ms. Nancy decided to apologize claiming the "devil" was in the house that graduation day.
"You know, I'm sorry. I made a mistake. Anybody that knows me, that's gone to school at TNT knows that I am not a racist, not a bigot. It was not a statement of racism, it was just my frustration. And when I said, I told my husband, it felt like the devil was in the house because it didn't even sound like me," the principal said in a statement.
