A little shout-out of gratitude to Covington Catholic!

Thank you, educators- not just for producing the toxic little squirts, but for transporting them to the misogyny event, which they then single-handedly transformed into a major racism event.

And created Olympic gold-level Repulsive Optics to illustrate both.

I have often asked myself, "What on earth could possibly have produced the level of toxic weaseldom that is Martin Shkreli, or even Ted Cruz?"

Were either of them alumni of yours?

Because, dayum, y'all are doing an AMAZING job of turning those out.

Take a bow, people.

ironically,
Bright

though my husband tells me that from his experience (long time ago) all boys schools tend to have a really twisted culture overall.

His couple of years in a religious all boys school tells him this.

I totally agree! The school didnt purchase those maga shirts and hats; the parents did. Although,the school shouldnt have allowed them to be worn on a trip where they represented the school. Catholic schools, from my experience teach love of all peoples. Hopefully, the school will shame and punish them accordingly. No Excuse for this behavior.

Most Catholic schools tend to be fairly "secular", so hauling them all the way to DC for a RTL march, just isn't age appropriate.

These teens probably could care less about RTL and were probably more interested in "getting out of town".

Maybe if they were at the Smithsonian or something age appropriate, they wouldn't put on the MAGA hats.

The name of the student has since been confirmed (I’m NOT posting it here), and it ISN’T Michael Hodge, who has been proven to be back in Kentucky when all this was taking place.

Seriously, that post should be removed.
