A video from Baraboo High School’s graduation last week showing a man pushing the school district superintendent away before he can shake hands with his daughter has sparked intense commentary, with some describing it as racist.

    The man was charged with disorderly conduct and is required to make an August appearance in the Sauk County Circuit Court.

    1. This shows how important racism is to some people, to look at someone that is a different shade and think, I'm going to ruin this memory and moment for my daughter for ever!
      Racism is a sickness and I have no hope for humanity as we really not as intelligent as we think we are.

    2. Bunch of Disney-watching idiots in the comments who don’t bother to look past 30 seconds of a video. Clearly that guy knows something about this superintendent. Lots of creepers in the school systems.

    3. Fuckin shameful. Alot of white people these days feel how that parent did but won't admit to racism.

      They give a thinly veiled reason to avoid admitting they're bigots.

      Do better

    4. You folks don't know the entire story. You all are so quick to chastise the father, without knowing what motivated him to take the action. Perhaps the superintendent used to be a teacher…perhaps he crossed the line with the daughter in the past, mentally or physically. I don't know…but I do know that you all are the typical Internet idiots who rip people without the full set of facts.

    5. YOU INTERNET FOOLS DON'T KNOW THE ENTIRE STORY. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT MOTIVATED THE FATHER. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TYPE OF MAN THE SUPERINTENDENT IS…OR WAS AS A TEACHER OR COACH

    6. You guys are fucking disgusting. The father was sick of the superintendent ignoring the families pleads formhelp. The daughter was bullied for years and they did nothing

    7. He embarrassed his daughter…like the convicted rapist and felon Donald Trump this father thought about himself first…..he deserves to spend several weeks in jail like Trump x40. They are both a disgrace to American values. The superintendent should be complimented for not punching that prick in his face. Until there is evidence there is no good reason to suspect this is racial animosity. People can dislike each other and ethnicity plays no role. Not making excuses just sick and tired of lazy thinking.
      Don´t be weak…..Don´t be a Trump University alumni.

    8. Presuming it was racially motivated bereft of evidence does nothing but disclose your mindset.

      News Alert: people can dislike each other for reasons that have nothing to do with ethnicity.
      No, I am not making excuses for anyone. If it is proven this was racially motivated charge hate crimes.

    9. i think something was going on between the Superintendent and the daughter. This is not about race. The mans probably been superintendent for the whole 4 years of her high school, so if its about race he wouldn't care enough to get up and make a scene at graduation. Come on people.

    10. The fact that the superintendent told police he had no idea who the father was & that he could only recall one incident when his daughter was disciplined from school goes to show this was racially motivated. The farther is trying to push the narrative that “they had past issues” but how? The superintendent doesn’t know who you are lol you clearly didn’t want a black man shake your daughters hand lol be a man about it & say it out loud. Don’t hide your racism behind “oh we had past issues” lol what a fkn coward. Good job embarrassing your family & especially your daughter. 🤡

    11. Coitada da filha com um pai desses, imagina o que ela não deve passar em casa, a cara dela. E para quem está questionando se esse é o único motivo do pai fazer isso, sim foi racismo sim, é so ver as notícias nos jornais americanos , o pai vai responder na justiça ele empurrou o superintendente da escola só pq era negro, falei superintendente pq foi assim que um jornal americano chamou o professor.

    12. Way to ruin your daughter's moment. This is such a huge rite of passage and the Dad made it about him. She could have denied shaking that teacher's hand if she wanted to.

    13. Maybe the superintendent did something to her early in the school year.
      Everyone with the racist BS.
      Why didn't he pushed her black football 🏈 boyfriend

    14. Disgusting behavior that ruined his daughter's graduation, the Superintendent's safety and everyone's experience that day. Whatever his excuse, his daughter moved on and probably learned valuable lessons. Ahole!
