The principal of TNT Academy has been let go from the Stone Mountain school less than a week after video of her racially charged comment at a graduation ceremony went viral.

Georgia NAACP president Francys Johnson confirmed to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that Nancy Gordeuk “has been released.”

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.”

Boom!

1. It was eye-opening to watch her 'defend' her comments

because she was so utterly clueless as to why saying something bad about 'the black people', especially in a way that suggested you expected 'them' to be the ones leaving early was racist. But I'm sure there are many millions of people who would agree with her.

2. Damn you Satan! Look what you did! nt

[Sunlei]

3. I thought she started and owned the school.

[Aristus]

4. The schol probably has a board of directors who are a lot more attuned to public

perception than she is.

[procon]

10. More likely they are attuned to public money

Its a private school catering to troubled students, so they probably get a large portion of their revenue from tax money.

[jwirr]

21. I read that also.

[Kalidurga]

5. Every once in a while the right thing happens.

[Behind the Aegis]

6. ....

But seriously, I am sure this will be spun into her being the real victim of this event!

[KansDem]

7. I found the school's website to be a bit bizarre...

http://www.tntacademy.com/home/

For example, tuition is mentioned as required the first two weeks of each month, but no amounts are provided--
http://www.tntacademy.com/fees/

And the founder of TNT Academy is referred to as just "Nancy"--
http://www.tntacademy.com/about/

A little sketchy, if you ask me

11. Who would pay for their child to go to that school??

If the principal is this crazy, what are the rest of the staff like?

[Sunlei]

23. could be a 'private school' that takes a States public school taxpayer money as tuition fee.

[Starry Messenger]

24. It's very weird.

Local media was trying to make excuses for this shady credit farm a couple of years ago.

9. her son was even more blatant

The son of a Lilburn, Ga. educator, whose racist rant at a graduation ceremony went viral over the weekend, came to her defense — in her own fashion.

“If anyone has something to say about my mom and how she ran her graduation — come say it to my face,” Travis Gordeuk took to Facebook Saturday.

His language mirrored the racial vilification spouted by his mother, Nancy Gordeuk, on Friday, whose words inspired a massive walk-out caught on camera.

Her son, Travis Gordeuk, came to the rescue on Saturday afternoon and offered to address grievances against his mother "face to face."


“Yall n----s aren’t talkin about s--t so if u got somthing (sic) to say come see me face to face,” Gordeuk added.

The feisty son even invited those offended to stop by his Carterville address — sharing his location publically on the social media post.

12. Racists are made, not born

Sounds like Travis needs to keep his mouth shut before he gets taken to class.

19. Much harder for me to fault a kid sticking up for his mom, even if she is wrong.

I got scrappy defending my abusive step dad when I was a late teen because it's one thing to mess with me, it's quite another to mess with my dad.

[No Vested Interest]

25. It's one ting to defend a mother, or relative, etc., but

the language used in the quotation offered above (#9) is indefensible.

[zentrum]

13. Her words

…. targeting an entire group by skin color, said "I sure didn't think that racial profiling would be racist."

Must have been some creepy atmosphere in that school—things like this are usually the tip of the iceberg.

14. Soon to be hired by the Ferguson PD.

[Whiskeytide]

15. I really should have invested in some...

... "Go Fund Me" stock when I had the chance. I'd be a 1% now!!!!

[Sunlei]

22. I know what you mean, 'go fund me' takes an 8% cut.

[packman]

16. The devil made me do it

[Hoppy]

17. She had to be let go. The D---l has already shown

her body can be inhabited. What future sins might He direct the school to do in His name, while in her body?

There is no such thing as white peeps being overly careful these days. We gotta stay on our toes.

[Hoppy]

18. --- and as for the rest of you bleeding heart libs,

Don't laugh. She may be the Republican V.P. candidate on the Christie ticket. She's from a different region, former educator and able to control crowds. She would certainly get the KKK vote and wouldn't even need to use dog whistle words.

Her presence on the Christie ticket will take attention from Christie's miserable record as N.J. governor.

[Chakab]

20. He she already set up a gofundme page?

[Liberal_in_LA]

26. I thought it was her school, that she was the founder

[aikoaiko]

28. I assume it was a nonprofit with a board of directors who are responsible for the CEO.

27. Equinsu Ocha! Equinsu Ocha!
