People can send a *respectful* email to Principal Robert Rowe: browe@covcath.org letting him know that these students' behavior was disrespectful, unacceptable and cruel.

I encourage you to likewise send a clear message that this hate & ignorance is unacceptable.

Among other questions, you might want to ask him why students are wearing campaign hats on an official school function.

Incidentally, Covington Catholic has some corporate sponsors who probably dont want their brands associated with racism.

Former Covington Catholic basketball player Jake Walter charged with rape, sodomy
https://www.wcpo.com/news/local-news/boone-county/burlington/former-covington-catholic-basketball-player-charged-with-rape-sodomy
UPDATE: Jake Walter registered as juvenile sex offender before new rape accusation
Walter, 18, was arrested Tuesday night and faces three felony charges: One of rape and two of sodomy. He appeared before a Boone County judge Wednesday via a video arraignment.
According to the sheriff's department, Walter repeatedly assaulted and choked the 18-year-old victim, ignoring her pleas to stop. The news release also stated the victim was afraid to have sex with Walter because of his size: He stands 7 feet tall and weighs 300 pounds.
"Walter dismissed the victim by laughing at her and telling her that she would be fine," Sgt. Philip Ridgell wrote in the release.
In court, prosecutors said the victim's mother stepped in to find a way to get Walter out of the house.
"Later the victim told her mother and made an excuse on why he needed to leave, giving her an opportunity to call the police," the prosecutor said.
A medical examination later revealed bruises and multiple lacerations on the woman's body.
Walter went on to repeatedly text and call the victim, Ridgell wrote.
