A Long Island Catholic School Headmaster is Under Fire after making a black student get on his knees and apologize to a teacher and justifying it as the African way to say sorry.
The Catholic School Headmaster John Patrick Holian who is white was confronted by the students mother about the embarrassing incident.
The mom said she was even more Disturbed after the Catholic school’s Headmaster told her he learned the approach from a Nigerian father who said it was an African way of apologizing the only problem the boy and his family is Haitian-American.
The mother of the black student says the problem is that John Patrick Holian groups all black people culture as the same.
The school said John Patrick Holian took leave from his position. He also admitted that he handled the situation wrong but still didn’t give a clear answer on why he did what he did.
