Video exists that shows students taunting a Native American Elder who was attending an Indigenous Peoples protest against Genocide, that also was taking place in Washington, D.C. on Friday.
Saturday morning, multiple videos went viral on Social Media.
The simple truth of it, the kids doing the taunting, while some wore "MAGA" hats, were despicable. There is not been a full confirmation that all of those involved were from CovCath, but in the videos multiple individuals are wearing Covington Catholic clothing.
Few are defending this group of kids at this point, but more will come once parents start trying to spin things. This should be an incident that the parents use to teach their kids and hope they can learn from it. I think some parents will do that. Unfortunately, some will not, and will either condone or make excuses.
Learning from one's mistakes is how we grow as people. Parents letting their shitty kids get away with this crap and face no consequences, that is the entitlement that drives people apart. I fear that too many of these kids learned this type of behavior from their parents and those parents think it's appropriate to be horrid and mocking to people who look different. I hope they can learn.
