Fresno Vice Principle Under Investigation For Calling Loud Obnoxious Females 'Ghetto Girls' and 'Section 8 People'

A Northern California school administrator has come under fire after a viral video of him allegedly racially profiling Black teenagers was shared across social media platforms.

Fred Veenendaal is a vice principal at Sunnyside High School in Fresno, California. He has been with the Fresno Unified School District for just under 15 years; however, his future now hangs in the balance.

A 27-second TikTok video provides little context for what led Veenendaal and a group of female teenagers to be at odds. However, the short clip does clearly reveal the vice principal’s thoughts about the Black students. While inside a housing subdivision, a teen recording the encounter is heard saying, “We’re minors,” as she asks why they are being harassed. At one point, he quips, “I’m a board of director here.”

Throughout the video, Veenendaal is shown on the phone, presumably with the police, before he says, “Officer, you got three girls here. Three Section 8 people. Ghetto girls.”
