The principal of TNT Academy in Lilburn, GA, Nancy Gordeuk is under fire after making discriminative remarks at TNT’s graduation ceremony today.
TNT is a Non-Traditional Educational Center in Stone Mountain that serves middle and high school students that choose to engage in independent study.
Nancy was born and raised in the Atlanta area, has two bachelor degrees in biology and chemistry as well as a masters in science education. She is also the person who founded the school.
Witnesses say that the principal seem unorganized throughout her speech. The commotion started after she released all the students to go before realizing that she didn’t let the valedictorian speak.
She attempted to bring all the students back in the auditorium when she yells, “Look who’s leaving, all the black people”.

Wait a minute? Why is it only showing my views? :O
I really want to thank you for yet another great informative post, I’m a loyal visitor to this blog and I can’t stress enough how much valuable information I’ve learned from reading your content. I really appreciate all the effort you put into this great site.
This is what piece appears to have a wide selection of targeted customers. Would you market it? It all offers a decent special distort for aspects. Maybe enjoying one bona fide or even higher to supply information on is the most essential subject.
I wanted to thank you for this excellent read!! I definitelyenjoyed every little bit of it. I have you book marked to look atnew stuff you post…
Boston University Professor Saida Grundy made racist, offensive statements about White people …. You do demand that she is fired also, right ??
Do you goobers want the Black Professor at Boston Univ. fired for her racist remarks about white men ???
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ????????
Nancy for Mayor of Baltimore … They love racists.
We all need to recognize that the blacks are an angry bunch of losers.
BLACKS ARE THE MOST RACIST PEOPLE IN AMERICA.
BLACK LIES MATTER !
How do you forget the valedictorian’s speech? Something is wrong.
I just cannot understand how places like Georgia get reputations as backward, intellectually crippled cesspools. Oh wait…. Yes. I can. Note that principal Cracker has two Bachelors and one Masters degree….wonder where from?
I am a white southerner that was raised in an integrated school in the 70s. My best friend was black. I still have a diverse group of friends. I didn’t even know that black people and white people were at odds with each other until I was in high school and we moved to another state. What struck me the most about this video was the dad telling everyone to just let her finish so that it would finally get done and how you can’t argue with someone who’s irrational. That is something my father would have said. I still see no difference in the races. But there is always a difference in human beings. This woman doesn’t represent me because she’s white. There are people who are just horrible individuals.
A for profit school, you say? How many students do you suspect will return next year? If my kid went there, it would be her last year. I’d find somewhere else to send her.
Seems like an honest assessment of what was happening, then the racists started screaming like racists do. Never try to educate a monkey, it is a waste of time, effort,m money, and a seat in a classroom
I am stunned…she totally jacked up what should have been a great day..please know that not all white people are this tarded..now I know why my dad always said “theres no trash like white trash”…and he was a white kid from mississippi..lol
“Tarded”? Wow, Talk about being disrespectful.
SHE WOULD NEVER EVER LEAD MY YOUTH ,
Apologies mean nothing. We saw TWICE her bigitry and how she REALLY THINKS If this woman is not ired, I think she should resign. Lady-it’s 2015 . YOU are the reason for this hate we instill. GRRRR Embarressed as hell for this kind of person !
Why would her knucklehead son post such statements like this? First of all, he can’t construct a complete sentence! It’s called English, Grammar and Composition! His spelling is horrible, with no punctuation. In addition, he has the audacity to tell anybody to come see him, giving his address? REALLY!!! IS HE SERIOUS? Are his brain cells working? Prayers for any employers who hire him. Wow!
Wow! When I saw this at a graduation ceremony, I was shocked! This Principal, Nancy Gordeuk, needs prayer. First of all, I read that she is the founder of TNT Academy. She should hold this with dignity and respect for all races!!! Secondly, I don’t know what manifested her statements, but, apparently, it demonstrated disrespect. For this principal to say: “I’m sorry. It was my fault for not seeing this in the program.” THAT’S A COPOUT! What is the world does this have to do with what was stated. IT’S COMMON SENSE FOR PRINCIPALS AND THE ADMINISTRATION TO REVIEW AND EDIT ALL SPEECHES BEFORE FINAL APPROVALS. FURTHERMORE, COPIES SHOULD BE MADE! Thirdly, for some history: Stone Mountain was a rock quarry once owned by The Venable Brothers, and, allowed members of the KKK to hold ceremonies. Now, by the tone of this Principal Gordeuk, you can sense where she’s coming from. The word ‘goober’ was a racial slur against Blacks- n***ers. For her to say, “Look at all the Black people walking out”, was egregious and a disgrace!!! Apologies don’t numb the situation for what ruined a day that was suppose to be a day of celebration.
Look who’s pulling their kids from the school — all the non-racist people.
Where was the racist part? Calling black people black? Is that racist now?
It was the remark that all the people were rude and look who is leaving all the black people. Yet the man she had an issue with was white and it was a white family.. . .yet she called out all the black people for leaving even though she messed up. It was mostly the You people are so rude and disrespectful and blantly saying it was the black people doing it. Racsim isnt the word you call them but how you use them.
What good does it do you to pretend to be so dense that you cannot comprehend what was racist about her comments? Playing dumb is only a viable defense if one hopes to excuse oneself on account of their own stupidity. Playing dumb in any other scenario only serves to prove that one isn’t “playing” at all.
That woman was under the influence of drugs; prescription pills of some sort possibly. The unorganized speech and agitation are a clear signs. What a piece of work
lol, you keep saying this. Why are you so fixated on the idea that this lady is “high on oxys”? Couldn’t it be that she’s just a racist old woman?
Most racist keep their views and thoughts to themselves. They would never speak out like she did especially as blatant as she did in public. She was under the influence of something ..if not osyx the perhaps zannies?
I’d have to agree with you here. From other accounts, she was behaving bizarrely from the very beginning of the ceremony. Either she is certifiably loony, or she was on something – aside from her being a racist toolbag of course.
That woman wasn’t on drugs! She got frustrated and is one of those I’m White You Need to Listen to Me types, and when folks ignored her fat silly behind, she started name calling. This is typical for people who possess a sense of entitlement and feel they are superior to others, particularly the poor or people of color. Trying to give her an out like she is mentally ill or on drugs is not cool. The heffa is just an old racist fool and she played her card in front of hundreds of witnesses. With video rolling these days, there is evidence. Twenty years ago she may have gotten away with it if no one was filming that exact second.
..so I’m trying to give her an out?
I’m not sure what was racist about her remark.
This is what her son posted in her defense.
Yikes.
I can confirm, her son did post this on Facebook. He has his mother as a Facebook friend. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, it appears.
Here’s my screenshot of his FB page.
I hope a whole bunch of people took him up on his offer. I’m sure there were many who would be all too happy to kick his ignorant, pale, bigoted ass up and down the street for a couple of hours.
That’s right take up for mommy, even if she was wrong. But why would you invite people over to your house for them to kick your ass? HUmmm??
Surely you are not supportive of her rant and comments?
If so, she did a poor job of educating you as well.
People like your mother and her comments is what keeps America sliding backwards, not forwards.
What a miseducation she has provided to you and those youth!
Shame on her!
I get it she is your mom, but you cannot support her actions! If you can, then you too support her level of racism in America!
This boy needs to go jump off a cliff. The ignorance is appalling. Instead of supporting his mother’s ignorance, he should be apologizing for her.
Nancy is built like a buick i see.
It was pretty sad to see that some of the people in the audience did not realize it was time to go after she made her final inflammatory remark.
The woman is the founder of the school, so she cannot be forced out directly. It will be a sad indictment on that community if there is enough enrollment in the school to open their doors next academic year.
She will get a influx of white radical supremests enrolled to fill the black void lol
Probably a gofundme account for being a ‘victim’ of ‘liberal intolerance’….
Career Over!
Goober is actually a old racial slur for blacks for those not in the know =P
Actually there is absolutely ZERO credible support for your statement. Goober has never been used as a racial slur against blacks. Please provide ANY support for you statement. I can’t find any at all. Generally the word has this definition
: noun
NORTH AMERICANinformal
noun: goober pea; plural noun: goober peas; noun: goober; plural noun: goobers
1.
a peanut.
2.
offensive
a person from the southeastern US, especially Georgia or Arkansas.
offensive
an unsophisticated person; a yokel.
Prior to what we see own the video, it is my understanding that a white family got up and left, and this Founder and soon to be former Principal of this school was referring to this white family as goobers. This would be congruent with the above definition. Don’t get me wrong. Nancy is clearly a closet racist and it came out. Here career is over.
Its old southern slang usually used to replace saying the N-word. Obvioulsy she’s pretty fond of the word. i may not have facts but i have experience. Mississippi here! lol smdh
But there was a sympathetic character on the old Andy Griffith show (about a sheriff in a rural southern town) called or nicknamed “Goober”. …I don’t think they would have given him that name if they thought it was a racist term (…and the character was white if I remember correctly).
His name was not “Goober” he was “Gomer” but he was called a goober.
Goober replaced Gomer when he got a spinoff show.
Goober did not replace Gomer. He was a totally different character. You can say they added Goober but he did not REPLACE Gomer.
Goober was in fact Gomer’s cousin. Jim Nabors as Gomer Pyle; George Lindsey as Goober Pyle. Both were on the show.
I’m white and grew up in North GA, and where I grew up, “goober” meant “goofy” and it went back to goober peas—peanuts. I never ever heard it used as a racist term, and trust me: I heard racist terms growing up at times. I always heard “goober” being used to refer to white people. Not saying that it wasn’t different in Mississippi, but we’re talking about a woman in N. GA saying it, so that part was probably not meant as a racist term, esp. since she was saying it to a white man. (BTW: Goober was Gomer’s cousin, on Andy Griffeth show, and he wore a Jughead hat (like Jughead in the Archie comics.)
I’ve seen comments from others at this graduation, that the woman was steadily more insulting; first with innuendo, and then with outspoken racism. Absolutely if she can’t be fired because she owns the school, then the school needs to lose its accredidation for so long as she’s running it.
My sympathies to all the students there, but most especially the black students and their families—this bitch of a woman took what was supposed to be a celebration of triumph for these students and their families, and turned it into an ugly experience.
Pay attention to the “=P” at the end of his comments. Methinks sarcasm was at play there.
Actually I suggest you use ‘google’ and see what pops up. There’s a big difference between ‘zero credible support’ and what ‘is’.
I thought it was a white family she was arguing with initially at first but in her video explaining what happened it was in fact a black man that she was yelling it. She explains that.
And then she blamed the event on Satan. =)
No it isn’t…or at least in this case, she was talking to about a white guy.
if you listen to her own explanation of what happened she says she was talking to a guy that happened to be black. You may WISH that she was talking to a white guy but that’s not the case.
Um no, that’s not what I wish. That’s what someone who was there said, and I heard it before I heard her own explanation. Thanks.
I feel badly for the students of course but, I also feel sorry for the valedictorian. The principal completely ruined his moment.
what happens when you let your refinement slip. But we as Black people need to stop being so surprised at this type of thing. We need to stop being emotionsl when someone doesn’t care for us we all should know how they feel by now.
Rudeboi, it’s not right for any race to feel that way about others. Whites will always get the worse of it, when they say racist related things. But blacks can say racist stuff too, even though it’s still wrong to say, and they won’t get punished for it. She did right by coming out with an apology, she realize that this was getting bigger, and decided to owe up to her actions. Race issues is nothing to play with, and Nancy found out the hard way.
Look, let’s not act like this was a slip of the tongue. This lady doesn’t care for anybody that isn’t white. That would make her a racist and she has a right to be that, but please get out of the business of education or miseducation. Now, Black people or any other persons of color cannot be racist because racism is a system that only one can be in charge of. That one looks nothing like me.
I’m not even mad about this and, in fact, I find it to be a good thing. Now these parents know at least one place to stop sending their children.
I agree with you, this isn’t new at all or surprising! Social Media keeps exposing what’s been so obvious before the days of virual videos!
Are you seriously saying blacks can’t be racist? It is true than the ‘majority’ ethnicity (whites) are in a position to have more harmful effect from their racism, but I’ve heard racist remarks come from people of various races and ethnicities. I’ve even seen it where Blacks are in a position of authority over whites.
What you heard sir was bigots and people with prejudges. Racism is a system rather you believe it or not. Google is your friend.
Racism is not a system. Do not rely on Google/Wikipedia for scholarly notation and thought. It is by far not a reliable source.
The world would be a much better place if black people would quit being so Damn sensitive to any little thing they can make a public issue out of ,and Damn black lives matter,all lives matter, I could say a whole lot more but I will hold my tongue. FOR NOW
“Now, Black people or any other persons of color cannot be racist because racism is a system that only one can be in charge of.”
That is complete and utter bullsh!t. All you’re doing is pathetically trying to rationalize your own racism.
What you need is for POC to be racist so that yours is justified. But I lack the motivation to continue this.
I AM POC, you racist idiot.
So ignorance is willful?
I wouldn’t know. Is yours?
What *you* need is for somebody to slap the stupid out of you.
This is why things will never change. You can slap the messenger all day but that’ll never stop this truth.
Coonin’ pays well I hope your gettin’ paid for yours.
Yes, the *truth* is that you’re full of stupidity. I’m glad you know how much coonin’ pays, you ignorant clown.
GTFO, new nigga.
Glad you took the high road. Did you know Empire got renewed? Of course you did.
You’re the clown who typed this: “Coonin’ pays well I hope your gettin’ paid for yours.” ANY road is a high road compared to the one you travel on, so STFU you moron.
Coonin’ pays well, huh? How much are you making?
COONIN’ & BUFFOONIN’
IT’S THE CHIMP WAY !
>>>Now, Black people or any other persons of color cannot be racist because racism is a system that only one can be in charge of.
That has GOT to be one of the most IGNORANT sentences that have ever been written. ROFLMAO
TISSUE ????
You are 100% correct. It is the shock value and reaction that racists love to see. We need to stop sensationalizing these things. They get off on that as it continues to create and support division. If they can divide a social group, they win!
I am without words. In her selfishness, she ruined a day these kids looked forward to. If this would have been here in Jersey, she would have needed body armor to get her out safely. Pathetic and disgusting. She need to resign. Her mouth spoke what was in her heart.
That bitch needs black dick in her life
Twister gets it.
Why would anyone waste that on her?
The author of this article thinks the principal should be “more smarter than this.”
Wow.
I saw that used in a British publication recently. I was wondering if it’s normal usage there or if it’s a common typo everywhere.
This is utterly disgusting and despicable. There is more to the story. This principal is not even an appropriate administrator and has opened this for-profit school to take advantage of students who truly need someone to care for them and their education. Her ‘school’ is up for accreditation status with a few organizations. I fully intend on informing them of this video She needs to be removed if nothing else. Maybe you will decide to take action as well. The schools is the seat of knowledge and learning….it should not be the supporter or facilitator of racism, hate, and division.
The principal, or racist, can be contacted at: NancyG@TNTAcademy.com
Encourage them to stop scholarships to this school: info@gahope.org
Encourage them to investigate this action-the Georgia Accrediting Commission and here are the board members:http://gac.coe.uga.edu/about/board-of-directors/
Encourage them to reconsider accreditation: http://www.advanc-ed.org/managing-office-loc…/georgia-office
This insanity in our schools needs to stop or it will continue into our lives and society forever. Take positive action now!
thank you for all this information. i am still in shock. I knew racism was alive and well in the south but DAMN.
racism is alive everywhere, Everyone has a lil bit of racism in them.
True statement, some people seem to have more than a little in them.
Everyone DOES NOT have a “lil bit” of racism. Prejudice, absolutely. There’s a difference between the two.
No EVERYONE DOES NOT!!! I’m so sick of racist people saying this. Racism is PRACTICED. Unless you PRACTICE racism you’re certainly NOT a racist. I choose not to practice racism therefore I’m not racist. And as much as I love and prefer handsome White men!!! Please. GET outta here with satanic bull shit!!!
oh please, it isn’t just in the south, you holier than thou Northerners display plenty of it.
But you Southerners really have it down.
Where is that place Baltimore?
I am a bigot, but at least I hide it in class.
Maybe if those niggers appoligized instead of overreact this whole situation could have been avoided.
Racism, the bastion of the intellectually lazy. Amazing how “brave” the loser bigots are on the Internet.
BLACK LIES MATTER
Well maybe if people educated themselves on what truly happened they would not show their ignorance to the situation in their statements. They [niggers as you stated] were not the ones that needed to apologize racist. The white person messed up here, not them.
I graduated from TNT Academy and if it wasn’t for Nancy Gorduk I would still be struggling in Public School.
Well, she definitely made an impact on your life. Can’t argue with that.
Nancy Gorduk is my new hero she battled cancer now she is battling racism against whites.
I am a school superintendent who also overcame cancer, but that does not give me the right to be a racist. We are supposed to model the correct, socially acceptable behavior for our students. She evidently provided a miseducation to you if you feel so comfortable and free to use words of color to label people. Now maybe you can get an education from the school of life!
DIE IN YOUR SLEEP, MY MAN.
Trolling: successful.
Aaron, I’m sure there were Aryan Germans who Hitler’s policies saved, giving them an economic leg up, etc… but that doesn’t mean he was right or a hero. Nancy Gordeuk may have helped you, Aaron, but with her racist attitude I’m sure there were many other people she *hurt*. For that matter, she hurt YOU, if you can’t see the racism in her statements and attitude, and if she taught you that this behavior is “normal” or “okay.”
Lol. That old chestnut? You’re crazy. That’s the only reason anyone would actually believe there’s racism against whites.
She is a great educator. Dumb negroes don’t like to learn.
He used the word “nigger” just a few comments above. Yes. I’d say she made an impact.
HOW MANY OF THE SCHOOLS NIGGERS USE THE SAME WORD?
you sound like your still struggling
Should we assume then that you were able to secure a management pisition with the Klan?
Beats supporting ISIS like you must.
You don’t sound like you graduated from anywhere. You sound like you should still be “struggling” in public school. You just confirmed everyone’s suspicion that this school isn’t a legitimate educational institution.
Your remark was stupid.
BLACK LIES MATTER !!
Hey Mills,
Where did you get your phony degree ???
appoligized. nuff said..
why the hell was this comment even allowed. what does this even add to the discussion?
I think one good thing we could take from this is the overwhelming amount of white people who where equally disgusted by the racist comments. Imagine this 30-40 years ago in Georgia, i doubt anyone would have been offended. Progress.
SO ARE DUMB COONS.
I TAKE ACTION TO HAVE A DOPE LIKE YOU STOP RAPING STUDENTS.
Was this article written by a two year old? lol. Anyways that lady is stupid…….CAREER OVER
nope this happen yesterday at my cousin graduation
Unfortunately she owns the school. Hopefully accreditation teams will hold their accreditation.
Get rid of her. Even the white Valedictorian got somewhere quick when she said that!
IS THAT YOUR SLAVE NAME??
She said, annoyed, “Look who’s leavin’ — all the Black people!”
That, of course, wasn’t true; but she was trying to blame someone — anyone — for the fact that she’d dismissed the assembly and people were leaving. (Was she DRUNK/buzzed, or what?)
Well, after she said THAT, I did see a lot of Black folks get up to leave.
Be careful what you ask for, you incompetent, racist a**hole.
https://www.facebook.com/brooklyn.jacobs1/videos/873465989386118/
When will the illness or racism be eradicated? Though this began as she was degrading a white famil,y (whom she obviously thought was lower than she) for walking out after SHE FORGOT the final speech from the valedictorian and started name calling. Then to fly out of her mouth about “Look all the Black people are leaving!” WHHHHHHHAA?? Someone get her a psychological evaluation and see if she is on medication-then let’s talk termination. She ruined EVERYONE’S day!
She’s like the Paula Deen white Southerners: the ones who can’t see the racism in their attitudes, and *refuse* to see it. I’ve seen her type before. Thankfully many of them are aging out, and won’t be around much longer. There are younger racists too, but I don’t think there are as many. Likewise, there are some older whites who are actually aware of what racism is and are anti-racist; I’m not throwing everyone into one bushel here.
Still, it’s the ones who insist that they *aren’t* racist who then proceed to say things showing that that *are*, that frustrate me the most… because you can lead them right up to it and rub their nose in what they said and what it means, and they’ll still insist “I’m not racist!”—because to them, being racist means “wearing Klan robes” and that’s it. Urgh.
What makes you think younger people are any different? They’re not.
RACISM WILL NEVER DIE AS LONG AS NEGROES ACT LIKE ANIMALS
“You Are Really FUCKED UP’
TOUGH LUCK BRO …. TISSUE ???
In the original video, which is a little longer than this one, a white family actually left first after she told one of the graduates to sit down, the father told her to not talk to their daughter like that then she called him a goober(dumbass) and the child he was holding a thing. They then proceeded to leave, after that She then calls out black people FOR no reason which results in the crowds leaving.
@ deeceevoice
She acts like she was high on oxys or something.
She’s a disgrace. FIRE HER!
She can’t be fired, unfortunately. She founded the school. I hope every last one of those students withdraws.
Really?? Wow. Just. Wow.
If they can take the Clippers from Donald Sterling they should be able to take the school from her. Fair is fair.
It’s despicable!
TISSUE ??
???
Is this a charter school or is it a true private school in which the parents pay for the tuition out of their own pockets?
It is a for-profit pseudo-private school. I am hoping the accreditation institutions will do something about it. She should not be running a school in any form. And she states she is there for at-risk students….bullcrap! She is there to make a dollar!
It is like the phony black school I work for.
Every school has a Board of Directors that the principals answer to. She CAN be fired or demoted. She would still own the school, but she would no longer be able to have day to day influence over young minds with that sick, twisted, stupid redneck attitude. So unprofessional. Just a disgrace.
She’s fired. I guess founding the school means NOTHING when you’re a racist twit! Yay!
SHE WAS REINSTATED YESTERDAY …. SUX FOR U
I see nothing that substantiates your claim. I guess Google, etc. doesn’t know about it yet.
It doesn’t suck for me. It sucks for the children. I have absolutely no affiliation with the school so it will not affect my life directly.
Having said that, it is still sad that someone with that mindset is dealing with children. ANY children; regardless of race, creed or color.
There is already more than enough hate in this world. We don’t need an administrator assisting that cause.
You’ve openly stated you’re a bigot so I will not bother to respond to you again. You’re just not worth my time.
