Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

MODERATORS
From actually reading the story it doesn't appear to be anything racist at all, even though even the article tries to bend it that way like there is no tomorrow
The guy apparently has a personal beef with the super intendant die to something that happened between the super intendant and his daughter.
Sure, the guy is in the wrong here, but i see no racism beyond "well the guy is white, sonhe must be a racist!"
Yes, there are loads of racists out there but just marking anything racist because two races were involved is not helping IMHO
But this is lemmy, so the majority will feel they confidently know exactly why the guy did it, and the rest of us are just dumb. Even though we all had access to the same article, and only us dumb ones read it.
Sounds like a bullied girl that was being assaulted fought back, only to face expulsion for it. Then the superintendent rolled his eyes at the bullying in her hearing.
The guys "personal beef" is that the principal is black. He's using bullying as a lie and an excuse to cover for his racism.
If there's a policy issue that is properly dealt with in writing, not grabbing someone at a graduation ceremony.
Was that specifically said somewhere or are you just filling in the blanks
Was it said somewhere what his personal beef was?
Yes, it’s because his daughter was being bullied. Fought back and was punished for it but they didn’t punish the people bullying her
Well, it's a good guess, given the country we live in. Is the bullying stuff corroborated/fact checked?
Edit further I agree, making a public scene like this is not appropriate, regardless of any personal reason. He could have just instructed his daughter to walk right by and not stop.
The article didn’t bother with it because it wants to paint a picture of racism
There isn’t enough evidence for us to believe it was racist
Evidence for that? Like Wikipedia says,
