Bishop apologizes, Nicholas Sandmann: “premature statement”.
The Bishop of Covington on Friday apologized to parents of Covington Catholic High School for being “bullied” into issuing a “premature statement” regarding an incident involving some of its students and a Native American activist during last Friday’s March for Life event in Washington, D.C.
“Within hours we were being pressured from all sides to make a statement regarding a video clip which purportedly showed students from Covington Catholic High School being disrespectful to Native American Elder Nathan Phillips,” Bishop Roger J. Foys wrote in a letter.

While many Democrats were cheering their claim that the student(s) would be expelled and ruined, from day one I predicted there would be no discipline of the students. The students behaved perfectly. Phillips acted like an abusive old wino in conduct extremely degrading about Native Americans while doing so.
In my mind the boys' chaperones are even more deplorable than the boys themselves.
I'll see if you're the first one to figure out why. A lot of people have tried to laysplain to me otherwise and have failed miserably in their attempts.
The conduct of the teens was perfect.
You can just stop right there.
You clearly have no understanding of how frenzied boys behave and what they are capable of in that mindset. You don't even know what it looks like. The hour-plus-long video by one of the Black Hebrew Israelite protesters "that everyone was supposed to watch instead of the MSM narrative" shows clear examples of how frenzied boys behave.
Where were the boys' chaperones? They were letting them act as they please, that's how. If that school has any sense then they will never let those "adults" chaperone another trip again.
Why should the O/P stop?
He's dead on, 100% correct, and so is the Bishop of Covington.
You can just stop right there.

Well, that's it, folks, the authorities have spoken, the infallibility of the Catholic Church is proven yet again! /s
A protective order should be granted keeping Phillips away from the school and the school kids for their safety.
Try reading again. The kids were doing what they obtained permission from the adults to do - doing their school's cheer.
So you forgot all the messages by Democrats on this forum bragging and cheering how the kids were going to be expelled from school, denied attending college and career ruined for life? There was never a chance any kid would be expelled. None.
The adult failure was government security at the Lincoln Memorial not getting that crazed old attention-whore lunatic Phillips out of the teenager's face for the teen's safety.

What the school needs to do in the future for field trips is include professional security guards to be available to protect the children from potential future harassment and potential violence from radical violent leftwingers who now openly claim anyone who opposes the Catholic Church or Trump can and should get in the face of and even violently attack them - even children. Parents need to recognize just how dangerous to their children some Democrats have become.
It's about time the radical Left was regarded as the dangerous faction they are. If something as innocuous as school cheer songs and standing in place will lead to death threats TO CHILDREN, it's time to fight fire with fire.
School children going to these pro-life rallies do indeed need professional security.
The kid accused of facing off with the older man is innocent of what he was accused. But the boys, at least many of them, did not “behave perfectly”. Mocking the Native American singing and the tomahawk chop is the opposite of behaving perfectly. It doesn’t merit ruining their lives by any stretch, and it shouldn’t be a national story, but those kids need to be corrected by their parents.
What they did was akin to making slanted eyes and saying “Ching Chong Ching Chong” to an Asian person.
Hang on, what exactly do you mean by that comment?
So you agree that the chaperones should have been more alert?

There weren't enough of them, not understanding that dangerous radicals and attention whore wackos like Phillips stake out national monuments in DC watching for anyone to harass or beg for money from.

These kids will never get the idea that tomahawk chopping is wrong until it stops at professional stadiums and teams are renamed. Until then, these kids are doing what's done in public ALL THE TIME.
