Ok. Late to the Covington Catholic HS party, I still want to say this:

The Covington Catholic High School students are exactly the kind of men that I imagine all Christian Rightwing Schools hope to raise.

60 or so newly minted Justice Kavanaughs waiting to be ushered into elite schools and absorbed into the wealthy system of pampered fuckery so beloved by mediocre white men with powerful connections.

Anyway I just looked at the school's locked twitter page - Guess what? they posted a picture with one black and one Asian kid in it.

Coincidence I'm sure, I'm confident that it was always in the rotation and just popped up today

they can't expel those students and continue to exist. The backlash from those MAGA parents over expulsions will obliterate their enrollment.

The same issue that Elected GOP dick weasels are faced with, namely that the core of their supporters are MAGAts

For the politicians the issue is "Piss off the MAGAts lose in April, stand with them and lose in November"

For the school it's more of a "No Democrats are ever cutting a check to send a child here so if we piss off the MAGAts we'll soon need to find real work, in the real world"

To absolutely 0 human beings living on planet Earth.

Of course that won't stop "Religious" leaders attached to this Diocese from claiming shock surprise and of course - dismay.

The damn school had chaperones involved - Either they decided to abandon these boys or they were right there with 'em. So I already know what the faculty thinks
