The father who sparked outrage after interrupting his daughter’s graduation ceremony to prevent the superintendent from shaking her hand claims he wasn’t the one to initiate physical contact, a statement contradicted by video footage of the incident.
Matthew Eddy was accused of trying to ruin his daughter’s special moment when he stormed the stage on May 31 to push aside Baraboo High School Superintendent Rainey Briggs.
A video from the incident shows Eddy’s daughter moving down the line of school district officials to shake their hands at the Wisconsin institution.
