CovCath faces backlash after video of incident at Indigenous Peoples March surfaces

https://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/2019/01/19/video-shows-apparent-incident-indigenous-peoples-march/2623820002/

Covington Catholic High School faced backlash on social media Saturday morning after video was posted and widely shared showing a tense incident involving indigenous marchers and a group of young men in Washington, D.C.

The video shows a young man wearing a "Make America Great Again" cap standing near and staring at a man who is drumming as other young men surrounding them cheer and chant. Some of the onlookers appear to wear clothing bearing insignia from Covington Catholic High School in Park Hills.

The man with the drum was participating in an Indigenous Peoples March, according to people who posted about the incident.

Twitter users condemned the incident as an attempt by the group to intimidate the marchers and called for a response from the school.

Covington Catholic is a private parochial school in Northern KY situated about 8 miles from where I live. Nice to know that the local dioceses is preparing its youth for a position in the Trump Administration. Pictures and video at link.

I hope not a one can get into a college. This needs to have repercussions for those little assholes and their parents, teachers and clergy involved. Unbelievable stupidity and hatred, not to mention just the simple lack of respect for another human.

"March For Life", my ass.

This makes me really fucking mad.

all laughing and chanting along with their young charges. This wasn’t aberrant behavior, it was exactly the educational mission of this sort of school.

They are acting out as anti-Christians, doing exactly the opposite of what Christ taught. republicans should be ashamed of themselves.
