www.nytimes.com/2019/01/19/us/covington-catholic-high-school-nathan-phillips.htmlThey were Catholic high school students who came to Washington on a field trip to rally at the March for Life.
He was a Native American veteran of the Vietnam War who was there to raise awareness at the Indigenous Peoples March.
They intersected on Friday in an unsettling encounter outside the Lincoln Memorial — a throng of cheering and jeering high school boys, predominantly white and wearing “Make America Great Again” gear, surrounding a Native American elder.They were on a school sanctioned/sponsored trip to protest women's rights, and happened upon the Indigenous Peoples March. There were adults from the school present. The elder Nathan Phillips responded with grace and peace: I can't imagine what these young men are learning at home and in that school. Shameful. The red hat may as well be the same as the white hood.

This has been all over my Twitter feed today. That shit’s smug little face (not to mention the little monsters egging him on) infuriates me every single time I see it.
People look at old photos of screaming, jeering white people trying to prevent black people from integrating schools and dumping food over lunch counter protesters heads and they think it’s some sort of distant, distant history. It’s not.

Young MAGOTS who harass their elders. They are from a Catholic HS in Covington, KY. I sent several tweets, including to the Pope. He should know what they are up to.Others sent links with their pictures to colleges. They did not think this out, obviously. I think that these young men are in for a big, negative reaction. It’s a good life lesson for them. 'And I hope that it is a painful one..

This makes me sick. If that was my child, I would be so angry and humiliated.
They are from a Catholic school? What are they learning?

A friend just posted this on FB. It makes me feel sick to the stomach. I posted that I really wish someone had smacked the smug grin off his face. I think that these young men are in for a big, negative reaction. It’s a good life lesson for them. 'And I hope that it is a painful one.. Oh man, I reeeeeeeeally hope so!

This is gross. I hope the admin for this school gets fired. They should have reigned those kids in as soon as they started this shit. The kids who participated should face extreme consequences-suspension and expulsion. What a bunch of entitled little assholes.
My kids go to a catholic school. I would kick their asses so hard if they ever 0pulled something like this. And I would be demanding heads in admin for this. This is totally unacceptable.

I can’t even watch the whole thing. I want to smack that shit eating grin right off of that kid’s face. Mr. Phillips handled it with such grace and dignity. He’s a much better person than I am.

Do the little shits not realize that Native people have more right than they have to be there? WT actual F
I’m shocked that any catholic school would accept behavior like that? My nun would have looked at them once and the shit behavior would have stopped. Period. My nun accepted no shit, she didn’t need a ruler to smack us she had the worst, most severe, cut the crap look in the history of the world. That just would NOT have been accepted.
While I have my issues with the Catholic Church, and I know the Catholic Church isn’t pro women’s rights - I certainly wasn’t taught to have a problem with Native people and I certainly wasn’t taught to act like an asshole while with my church group. That is extreme behavior for a Catholic Church group. ALTHOUGH, as with most religions I do know, there are some radical Catholic sects out there, one radical enough to pray daily for the popes death as he was too liberal of a pope.
If this was just an everyday regular catholic school on a trip then the Catholic Church has gone severely downhill since I left. I’m just not seeing this as behavior that would have been acceptable and the principle would have issued a statement as such.
I’m shocked both by the behavior and by how many not only accepted it but encouraged it.
Sister Mary Francis is spinning in her grave for sure.

I’ll just repeat my comment about this from the Trump thread, the video was seriously one of the most disturbing things I’ve ever seen. I’ve tweeted about it and I’ve emailed the diocese. I really hope these boys are suspended/expelled. It seems from some of the video that the chaperones witnessed it & did nothing so I’m not so sure they’ll face any consequences from the school.
There was a video that went viral around here of a group of cheerleaders from a local Catholic high school bullying a fellow cheerleader. They used some of the foulest language & gestures I’ve ever heard, it was disgusting. It happened over break and so many people were up in arms because at first, their only punishment was to miss a couple basketball games. I just read today that they “no longer attend the school”. Oh, and their parents started threatening legal action against anyone who shared the video.
I’m Catholic and I know there are many decent, responsible Catholic school kids at there, but things like this have made me leave the Church. When my kids switched from Catholic school to public, it was the Catholic kids who harassed them-both at school & at PSR class. After a few months, we stopped PSR and going to Mass. And, my kids were able to find new friends at school

Sadly, I think the hateful attitudes on display likely originated with the parents of most of these young men. I'm sure many of the parents are taking perverse joy in the way their little bigots are behaving.

It's one of the more depressing things I've seen. Their parents will try to make them out to be the victims somehow. Very fine people indeed.

I can’t believe the school and chaperones would allow kids to wear MAGA hats on a school trip. Regardless of what the parents are teaching them - this was a school trip. Disgusting.
I admire the man, who turned the other cheek how horrible for him. He has given this country so much, he is a hero.

I’d bet good money those kids picked up their hatred and self-supremacy at home, and their actions are fully known and supported by their families. It’s part of the whole MAGA ethos.

This made me ugly cry. Then, I was spitting mad when I saw people posting on Twitter: Who hasn't done something stupid they regret as a teenager? Why should they be punished for being caught in a "hot mic" situation? I honestly don't know how I didn't end up in Twitter jail this morning. I usually reserve my Twitter rage for *45 and the rest of the grifters. Not today Satan.

Always nice seeing MAGA prats showing blatant disrespect for Vietnam Vets, when the head MAGA prat didn't have the balls to serve himself.
Disgraceful.

May the admissions offices of any colleges that punk hopes to attend, see this video and get out the ten-foot pole.
I'm pinning this on the parents, teachers, and admin of the school as well as the kid, who is old enough to know better. The life lessons that lead up to that kid thinking what he did was acceptable are learned from the grown ups around him.
I read the school shut down their social media accounts. It's going to be super interesting to see how this is handled.

I watched the whole thing with the sound off, focusing on the people in the background. I couldn't find any adults. None. There is a photographer, and later a woman who seems to be upset with the kids and says something (I turned on volume for that) but no adults. NO ONE tried to stop the kids. And they do a tomahawk chop arm gesture with sound effects, they think it's funny. I do not understand where the adults were during this video. In the back, egging them on??? WTF. ETA: Found this photo on Reddit.
