Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that White father, Matthew Eddy, is a Holtz Builders employee as he’s going viral for pushing black man, superintendent Rainey Briggs, on stage to prevent his daughter’s from handshake at Baraboo High School.
NEW: Wisconsin father rushes on stage during a graduation ceremony and stops his daughter from shaking the hand of the black district superintendent.
What an awful person.
The man, Matt Eddy, was seen rushing onto the stage at the Baraboo High School ceremony while his daughter received her diploma.
Eddy grabbed Superintendent Rainey Briggs, reportedly saying “that’s my daughter” and “I don’t want her touching him.”
Eddy was then taken out of the building and arrested for disorderly conduct.
While it’s not exactly clear why Eddy didn’t want his daughter to shake Briggs’ hand, online users are blaming racism.
This isn’t the first time the school has faced controversy.
In 2018, about 50 students at the school were seen posing for a photo raising their arms in an apparent Nazi salute.
