Metcalf, who was escorted from the event by police, later told The New York Post that he felt “disrespected” and had hoped for a moment of unity.
“They should have pulled me up and said, ‘We are so sorry. Our condolences,’” he said. “The only thing I would have said was, ‘Okay, can we pray together and show the world we’re united?’”
As the case moves forward, Metcalf continues to seek justice for his son and is urging school officials to reconsider decisions that he feels could send the wrong message to grieving families and the community.
