A Father Stormed The Stage To Stop His Daughter From Shaking The Black School Superintendent’s Hand!
This went down at Baraboo High School last week, when they were holding their ceremony for the outgoing seniors — and video captured this awkward moment … when a girl was walking across the stage and preparing to shake hands with school district bigwigs.
A Wisconsin dad is under fire for rushing the stage at his daughter’s high school graduation to shove a school official from the handshake lineup … and some think race is involved.
BPD says the father offered a vague rationale that didn’t specify what his beef with Briggs was — and the cops go on to say they won’t speculate on the motivations here either.
That’s not stopping others from jumping to conclusions though — including a state representative named Francesca Hong … who straight up labeled it racist and vile.
She wrote, “Dr. Briggs is an excellent superintendent who cares deeply about the well-being of all students in the Baraboo District. No one should have to endure this type of gross and racist conduct.”
BTW, local reports say the district at large has been ensnared in controversy of late … so again, it’s unclear what exactly this was really about. We tried hitting Briggs for further clarification, but he didn’t wanna talk. We haven’t been able to reach the dad.
Talk about an ugly way to end the school year … yeesh. (VIA TMZ)
