This is probably not the first time this racist creep has humiliated his daughter, but it could well be the last straw.
Hopefully she is headed for university where she will learn a better way of living with others.

Police escorted the man out of the school following the incident.
In a statement, district spokesperson Hailey Wagner said a disorderly conduct charge for the man was referred to the Sauk County District Attorney’s Office.
I don’t see anything stating the man was arrested.
ETA: Whew!

Did he think the brown skin tone was going to rub off onto his kid, or something?
EDIT:
Please don’t anyone come and try to Blacksplain racism or bigoted thinking to me; that was not a serious query.

I guess his worst nightmare is that his kid will somehow be contaminated through contact with anyone not like himself.

All he succeeded in doing was embarrassing the fuck out of her and earning a needless court case for himself.

You can see the daughter’s look of confusion about the situation and then the moment of realization when she realizes that it was her father.

Baraboo seems to have ongoing problems with racists.

I was really hoping she was going to walk over and shake the superintendent’s hand and then flip her father off.

Small city Wisconsin is too white. Baraboo is about 10 miles south of Wisconsin Dells, home to a fairly large circus museum and is a waypoint if you’re trying to get to Devil’s Lake or Lake Wisconsin Country Club. I’m intimately familiar with the general area, my grandparents lived there. I’m also all too familiar with the racism ever present in the area.

The superintendent and the school board president are two different people, so I’m not sure the issues with the school board president are related to this at all.

I tought it was the racist part of the culture wars around school districts. Anyway, what this guy did was terrible.

Her father put on a lot of effort to be sure He would ruin her day. She didn’t have the slightest chance to do what She wanted to do.

As satisfying as that might be, these sorts tend to not take rejection well, and I suspect he is not averse to enforcing his opinions on his offspring. IOW, that would probably put her at risk of physical and emotional abuse.
