‘The devil was in the house and came out from my mouth,’

[joeybee12]

A Georgia principal has apologized for making racially charged remarks at her school’s graduation ceremony.

Nancy Gordeuk, founder and principal of TNT Academy in Stone Mountain, Ga., shocked those in attendance at Friday’s commencement when she chastised some for leaving early by saying, “Look who’s leaving, all the black people.”

The comments, captured on cellphone video, sparked immediate outrage at the ceremony, as dozens of students and parents erupted, leaving in protest. The footage quickly circulated on social media, with some calling for Gordeuk’s resignation.

“A terrible mistake on my part of the graduation ceremony on Friday night,” Gordeuk wrote in an email to parents published by WXIA-TV. “The devil was in the house and came out from my mouth. I deeply apologize for my racist comment and hope that forgiveness [is] in your hearts. We all make mistakes, and anyone who knows me realizes that I try my hardest to work with the students for them to obtain their goal of a high school diploma.”

Reminds me of Flip Wilson's Geraldine, "The devil made me do it." Difference is Flip was funny, this woman is certifiable.

13. I just cut and paste from character map (accessories-> system tools on Win7)

I was looking for a TM but couldn't see one and had to settle for the ®

2. "The Devil was in my mouth."

Man, that image could spark all kinds of comments...

3. Hot as the devil's...

5. Could and should.

Actually it is filthier than that: he came out from her mouth.

[malthaussen]

7. I refuse to take that to the logical end...

... because this is a family board.

15. So, what are we to conclude from the Devil's fondness for Georgia? n/t

14. Sounds like the devil came down to Georgia again.

There's your problem, Ms. Gordeuk--shoulda challenged him to a fiddle contest.

16. I know it's a turn of phrase, but...

as principal, she needs to take some responsibility for what was said, make an example of herself, and lead. A proper no-waffling apology will do just that.

[frogmarch]

17. What she meant was

that she was sorry her hatred for black people slipped out and made everyone aware she's a racist.

She should be fired.

[phil89]

19. Yep. Can't prove it isn't true

so we should respect it and consider it a legitimate possibility, out of respect. Or so I've been admonished. And dont you dare compare it to belief in leprechauns!

20. I also read somewhere

that her son posted a practically illiterate diatribe on FB defending her...and using the N-word.

I'd love to see that one. The fact that her own son cannot write a sentence correctly. And the racism apple apparently did not fall far from the tree.

21. Sounds like she got lessons in public speaking from Lee Mercer Jr.

"To Prove Jeb Bush is all in my house with disease."

All three!

22. The racist remarks her son posted means the devil lives in her house too

If Gordeuk’s son is an example of the education kids get at her private TNT Academy, racism is only one of the problems they have. She says her school is accredited in Georgia as a "nontraditional education center"; it has licensing problems and is up for review.

Ms Gordeuk’s son Travis, took to Facebook defending his mother with a slew of his own racial slurs.

“Yall niggas aren’t talkin about shit so if u got something to say come see me face to face,” he wrote.

“I hope everyone had a great mothers day and to everyone tgere are ppl hating getting on my page and posting shit so Imm sorry in advance if it happrbx.”

Her school charged each of the 48 graduating students up to $300 for the ceremony. So Gordeuk pockets over $14K and throws in the racist remarks at no extra charge?

should be institutionalized. In perpetuity.
