STONE MOUNTAIN, Ga. — The private school principal who gained national attention for a racially charged comment she made during a graduation ceremony has been fired. 
 
 Dr. Heidi Anderson, chair of the board of directors at TNT Academy, wrote in a letter sent to the Gwinnett County NAACP that the board voted to dismiss school director Nancy Gordeuk: 
 
 In light of recent events, the board of directors of TNT Academy has moved to dismiss Nancy Gordeuk as principal. During the coming transition, we will continue to prioritize support for our most recent graduates. Moreover, we will continue our commitment to providing students with the best educational classes, transcription services, and academic credit recovery possible. 
 
 During last Friday’s graduation celebration, Gordeuk accidentally dismissed attendees before the school valedictorian could give a speech. As people began filing out of the room, she asked them to come back, then said, “Look who’s leaving, all the black people.” 
 
 Gordeuk later apologized to parents in an email, saying, “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.” 
 
 TNT Academy is a non-traditional school for home-schooled students hoping to obtain accredited degrees. ||||| The son of a Lilburn, Ga. educator, whose racist rant at a graduation ceremony went viral over the weekend, came to her defense — in her own fashion. 
 
 “If anyone has something to say about my mom and how she ran her graduation — come say it to my face,” Travis Gordeuk took to Facebook Saturday. 
 
 His language mirrored the racial vilification spouted by his mother, Nancy Gordeuk, on Friday, whose words inspired a massive walk-out caught on camera. 
 
 The ceremony featured 48 students graduating from her private TNT Academy located northeast of Atlanta, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

 “Yall n----s aren’t talkin about s--t so if u got somthing (sic) to say come see me face to face,” Gordeuk added. 
 
 The feisty son even invited those offended to stop by his Carterville address — sharing his location publically on the social media post. 
 
 The independent school’s founder lost her cool when she flubbed the ceremony’s program and forgot to introduce the valedictorian. Friends and relatives of graduates began to leave the church thinking the show was over. 
 
 "It was my fault that we missed it in the program,” Gordeuk pleaded with the crowd before becoming flippant. “Look who's leaving — all the black people.” 
 
 The crowd gasped at the comment. 
 
 She then turned her attention to one man who recorded the whole thing and called him a “goober” and a “coward." 
 
 The worst of Friday’s affair targeted black members of the audience. 
 
 In a later post, her son, Travis, said she was reacting to “someone standing up during the ceremony and walking around with a tablet.” 
 
 “My moma not racist one bit she’s done nothing but help kids so yall need to get stories straight,” he added.

 The school’s director, Gordeuk, has since apologized to parents in an email shared with local media. In it, she blamed not herself, but Satan. 
 
 “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,” Gordeuk wrote. 
 
 Her school for middle and high school students was the subject of critical reports in 2013 for being too easy compared to what kids face in Gwinnett Public Schools. 
 
 “It was pretty obvious that the rigor was not the same as what we require,” Georgia Department of Education officials told WSB-TV. 
 
 Though TNT Academy is accredited through the Georgia Accrediting Commission, its license as a nontraditional education center is up for review in 2016. It offers makeup credit for students failing courses at public schools.

 A local principal is apologizing after making controversial remarks that sparked a walkout at graduation. 
 
 TNT Academy’s founder and Principal Nancy Gordeuk can be seen on a video telling the audience at Friday’s graduation they were “so rude” before making remarks attendees say were racist. 
 
 "Look who's leaving, all the black people," Gordeuk said in a cell phone video that has since gone viral. 
 
 Graduates, parents, and attendees alike can then be seen standing up and leaving the church. 
 
 “We were just trying to get her being rude. It was something un-normal like you don't see that on a regular basis,” attendee Brooklyn Jacobs said. 
 
 Jacobs was at First Baptist Church of Lilburn to watch a friend graduate and said Gordeuk was acting aggressively, which is why she kept her cell phone rolling. 
 
 “She named only black people. She didn't say, ‘Oh look at the Caucasians leaving, look at the Indians leaving,’ she said blacks,” Jacobs said. 
 
 Channel 2’s Jessica Jaglois tracked down Gordeuk at her home Saturday, where she said it all started when she forgot to let the valedictorian make his speech. 
 
 “So I introduced him, he started speaking, then a man, he was black, came across carrying his tablet back and forth filming the students in front,” Gordeuk said. 
 
 She said he was being disruptive so she called security and people began to leave. 
 
 “Who I saw leaving were black people so that's where the statement came from, ‘look who's leaving, all the black people,’” Gordeuk told Jaglois. 
 
 Jacobs and her friend Maya Price said they do not buy the explanation. 
 
 “That was something that was just unnecessary and uncalled for because there were more than just black people that were leaving the scene,” Jacobs said.
– An Atlanta private school principal who dissed "all the black people" during a graduation ceremony last week is unsurprisingly out of a job. "In light of recent events, the board of directors of TNT Academy has moved to dismiss Nancy Gordeuk as principal," the board says in a statement, per USA Today. After mistakenly dismissing students at the ceremony, Gordeuk said, "Look who's leaving—all the black people." She later apologized and told NBC News, "I didn't know 'black people' was a racist term. I didn't say the N-word or anything like that 'cause that isn't in my vocabulary." Friends of Gordeuk's son, who reportedly posted racist comments online, say his accounts were hacked, per Q13 Fox.
