Obviously the culture at that school is sick. The Catholic Church should be ashamed.
Howard Zinn's book! That's fabulous! I read it about 5 yrs ago and I was furious that none of those stories were told in high school. That book shook me to my soul. I had to put it down several times and have a good cry over how our ancestors were murdered and beaten etc.
I agree with everything you've said - as a former Catholic too.
Welcome to DU. Cheers.

(6,518 posts)After watching the video, I agree with Jim about the value of watching the entire context. You are right in that there is a lot going on in that video. Interesting watching the people reacting to what is being said.

(21,822 posts)They insulted the Native Americans, calling them savages.
They insulted women.
However, they did not insult privileged white boys, like the group from Covington Catholic High School.
