Georgia NAACP leaders said Tuesday they want the TNT Academy to sever all ties with its controversial founder, Nancy Gordeuk, whose racially inflammatory remarks at its recent graduation ceremony were widely scorned.
“This principal must be shut down,” state NAACP President Francys Johnson told reporters at a news conference Tuesday afternoon.
A woman identifying herself as TNT’s board chairman sent an announcement last week saying Gordeuk had been dismissed as principal, but the NAACP said it has received dozens of complaints from parents of TNT students about Gordeuk, whom they say is using the school’s email account in encouraging past and current students to defend the academy.
Johnson called the academy, a private school monitored by the Georgia Accrediting Commission, a “paper mill” that is overcharging students.
