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.

I'm not sure what your point is? You had a bad experience with some completely different person and based on that it makes sense to you what this particular person did?
I’m simply stating that not all school administrators are saints. And I had a specific anecdote of one such person.
Of course the guy shouldn’t have shoved him in that venue. And if it’s about race, it’s even worse (though the article clearly tries to make it about race from its first sentence, so I don’t know either way).
But I know what it feels like to see one’s kid be unfairly treated by school systems and specific administrators. And in the article it states the parent sees it that way much in the same vein as my anecdote (his kid got the book thrown at her while others who violated the same policy got no punishment at all).
Hopefully that clears it up for you. But if not, not my problem.
Literally no one is saying that . Simply by virtue of the fact that no group of any number of people will be all saints, whatever that means. So basically - cool story bro.
Ulkesh is simply stating that this story isn’t about just racism and ignorance. You know, offering a bit of depth and nuance to a public conversation.
You don’t have to be antagonistic about it.
Thanks!
According to the father, the super intendant rolled his eyes at the daughter during disciplinary hearing when she tried explained her behavior, & then expelled the daughter for doing the same thing her bully’s did to her.
Given that, I can understand a proud father holding some measure of a grudge over that, but not enough of a grudge to attack the person.
I think the comment’s OP is expressing something similar, being protective of a youth over an administrator jeopardizing the youth’s future.
I don’t think OP is condoning the attack, just acknowledging there’s more going on here than ignorance & racism.
None of what you said justifies doing what the dad did.
Did I say it did? Not in any way. In fact, I’m pretty sure that I said that none of what happened justified the father’s behavior.
You know what I didn’t do? I didn’t try to reduce a complex story down into good vs bad, or start antagonizing anyone who disagrees with me.
That school administration can be passive aggressive and not act in the kids best interest over politics or personal pettiness. And get paid on the public dollar while they do.
