As Rainey Briggs was waiting in line to shake the hands of graduating students, a man rushed at him on stage during the Baraboo High School graduation.
The father was there to prevent Briggs, the School District of Baraboo superintendent, from shaking hands with his daughter, a graduating student, and pushed him away, telling him not to put his hands on his daughter.
The much-publicized incident was caught on video and has since become a flashpoint in the Baraboo community, on international media and on social media, with many saying racism was a factor, as Briggs is Black and the father is white.
The father was charged with disorderly conduct and is required to make an August appearance in the Sauk County Circuit Court.
