STOCKTON, Calif. – An ousted California principal used the 2021 graduation stage as his platform to deliver a controversial speech that ended with him being escorted off campus.

During a Thursday morning commencement, Ben Nakamura, former principal at Stagg High School in Stockton, California, focused more on his personal grievances with the school district rather than the students he was meant to send off into the world, district officials said.

When Nakamura finished his speech, he walked off stage and was greeted by two men. The men had a conversation and then walked Nakamura off the field.

Melinda Meza, Stockton Unified School District communications and media relations representative, said the district received complaints from parents because Nakamura gave a lengthy speech and started talking about his own personal grievances.

Meza said Nakamura was walked off campus for his and the general public’s safety.

In his speech, Nakamura said he would not return to Stagg because Stockton Unified School District trustees voted to remove him as the school’s principal.
