EXCLUSIVE Father of slain Austin Metcalf makes desperate last-ditch attempt to stop high school REWARDING his killer
Daily Mail UK ^ | May 24, 2024 | MARYANN MARTINEZ

The father of a teen football star who was stabbed to death at a college track meet has challenged a school's decision to let his killer graduate.

Jeffrey Metcalf has filed a formal complaint about Centennial High School awarding Karmelo Anthony his diploma - despite being accused of murdering his son Austin.

Anthony, 18, is alleged to have pulled the knife on 17-year-old Austin at the stadium in Frisco, Texas, on April 2, before his victim bled out in his twin brother's arms.

The sickening attack has since sparked a toxic culture war as some rowed in behind the attacker and raised over $500,000 for his defense.

The killer's spokesman confirmed to DailyMail.com Jeffrey had challenged the school's decision to award him a diploma despite confessing to the horrific crime.

Dominque Alexander continued: 'Now you have a father filing a complaint to the TEA (Texas Education Agency).'

It is unclear what the filing means in practice, but it is understood to be one of few ways the grieving father can contest the graduation.

This is why other than a convicted hominid, I don't care what happens after that. It was my-tee white of him to be a cuck, like the father of the fat kid who had his head split open a few weeks ago, and the tactical sunglass/baseball hat wearing bearded cuck father who was "shocked" a simian american stabbed his daughter to death.

Tommy Sotomayor talked about the difference between white parents and black parents when it comes to the death of their children.

Black parents wear t shirts of their kids and let go hundreds of balloons at their kid’s funeral with an expensive coffin. Then that is it. The child is buried and the t shirts fade in time.

White parents fight for more laws that have tougher penalities for criminals or something to make kids safer.

A few such laws?

The “Adam’s Law” and the “Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act” are both named after Adam Walsh.

Amber’s law AMBER Alerts are named after Amber Hagerman, a young girl who was abducted and murdered in 1996. The AMBER Alert system was created in response to her case to help quickly alert the public about child abductions

Polly Klaas Law refers to California’s Three Strikes law, which was enacted in response to the kidnapping and murder of 12-year-old Polly Klaas

So if this father has learned, the hard way mind you. I have to ask. What will the “Austin Metcalf Law” be?

Austin is white, his killer is black. In the democrat s hole utopia killing whites is not a crime.

In 20 years we’ll be South Africa. Maybe 15. Whites will be hunted, on the run, and murdered.

I’m surprised the Dems haven’t already made the murderer class valedictorian.

Basically agreed—and expect that you will be one of the few rational posts on this thread.

Haven’t read the article, but unless there is some requirement that is being waived to allow the dude to graduate, there is no grounds for protest. Check the required boxes and then pick up the diploma.

This will give him the appropriate foundation to begin work on his college diploma in prison, although I think that prisoners ought to be employed making small rocks out of big rocks for 40 hours per week and only take classes on a very part time basis.

I am not sure of Texas law or the school district’s policy, but I would think that once a student is arrested for a violent crime, they are prohibited from school grounds. That would make graduation difficult at best.

I tired of “daddy” the day after his son was murdered. Daddy came out on TV all day and got whip lash from turning the other cheeks and forgiving the murdering jackass that murdered his son. He’s a jerk and now everyone is laughing at him.

Not going to dox anyone because it’s against board policy. But naming and shaming is legitimate. And since Black activists have introduced race into the discussion, they have made this relevant.

Must be the moron is finally waking up. He showed no respect for his son’s life when he immediately came out and forgave Anthony for stabbing his son to death. That showed weakness on his part, and ignorance.

Disgraceful. Even the fact that they are considering doing this should motivate parents to skip the ceremonies.
