CovCath faces backlash after video of incident at Indigenous Peoples March surfaces
Max Londberg, Cincinnati Enquirer
Published 11:48 a.m. ET Jan. 19, 2019 | Updated 1:33 p.m. ET Jan. 19, 2019

Laura Keener, the communications director with the Roman Catholic Diocese of Covington, released a brief statement at about 12:15 p.m. Saturday:

"We are just now learning about this incident and regret it took place. We are looking into it."

Messages left with Covington Catholic Principal Bob Rowe and other school faculty members were not immediately returned Saturday.

The school's website says students planned to attend the March for Life event, held Friday in Washington, D.C., the same day as the Indigenous Peoples March.

The kids need to be identified by name
Who their parents are

The school needs to be shutdown. Contact the diocese and have their charter revoked

Behaving as their school has taught them? Any punishment by the school is ripe hypocrisy as these young men are merely reflecting their education.

I was taught to love thy neighbor as thyself and be respectful of other people. Obviously these kids did not learn that. The nuns who educated me would be hitting me with a ruler if I did what the kid did to the Native American man.

And I see Rep Ted Lieu agrees with me.

It is not normal to be that age and do horrible things. It isn't. If you did stuff like that as a teen and excuse it, you are a terrible person. If you excuse these teens for doing this because of their age, you are a terrible person. They are terrible kids, and that smirker is a sociopath.

is that their students harassed the wrong people. They sent the little buzzerds to counter protest women marching for their rights.

between pedophile priests, corrupt Vatican bankers, and children who have been taught to hate, they are in thrall with a lot of anti-christian crap.

These kids are the proof the poisonous republican-xtian pudding. Hate and fear and smallness up the wazoo. Totally satanically fugly. Corrupt institutions deserve to fail, and their hateful spawn alongside.

who said her brother committed suicide shortly after graduating from there because he was mercilessly bullied and abused. It just breaks my heart. The school just seems like a hotbed of male entitlement and hatred for anyone who isn't white, christian, macho and alpha. It's sickening. Something is very wrong with that place.
