Contact the Principal of Covington Catholic HS in KY (RE: kids who harassed veteran Nathan Philips)

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.



Here is the email I sent Principal Robert Rowe at browe@covcath.org, seeking accountability for the racism from his students.

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

They were encouraging and participating with the students.

At least that is what I read elsewhere.

It's Bishop Foys

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

A group of Covington Catholic boys on a school trip surrounded and harassed a group of Native American protesters and mocked them with racist insults.

Incidentally, Covington Catholic has some corporate sponsors who probably don’t 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

BURLINGTON, Ky. — Former Covington Catholic basketball player Jacob Walter pinned a woman down Sunday and raped her until she bled, according to a news release from the Boone County Sheriff's Department.

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.
