Some further perspective from a former student of another Catholic school in the Covington Diocese: Gay valedictorian banned from speaking at Covington graduation 'not surprised' by D.C. controversy
A gay student who was barred by the Covington diocese from speaking at his 2018 graduation, is "not surprised" by the Covington Catholic High School video. https://www.nbcnews.com/feature/nbc-...ed-d-c-n961446
I'm still not understanding why the one kid is at the center of all the controversy. Out of all of the high school kids he was not yelling or chanting anything during the incident. He was not even in the elder's face/personal space. He was simply standing there smirking. Yes, he did come across as looking smug, but there are way worse actions that could have occurred.
Before actually seeing the video, I thought he had actually stepped into the elder's face or really done something disrespectful. If that had happened, I would have been all over him. But in terms of the kid who is the face of this whole incident, he specifically, did not do anything to warrant all the flack he is getting. Maybe the high school kids as a whole, but not him specifically.
I have an issue with threatening violence in this manner. These people are deranged, unhinged, unstable, delusional, mad, crazy, insane, and dangerous.
One kid does not represent the entire school of kids. And you can’t sven prove that one of the kids said it.
Read things C A R E F U L L Y. I never said it was a CovCath students. I said it was a march attendee. The same march the CovCath students attended with several thousand other likeminded individuals. The thing is I don't think any of the MAGA hat kids and their friends (whether the smirking ones, the ones cat calling, or the ones with this young man) are particularly better or worse. If anything I think they are all remarkably the same.

Fake news. That kid's planned valedictorian speech was nixed by school authorities because they thought it was too political. He could have given a different speech but refused. He was not barred from speaking because he's gay.
Who knows? Hence why I said it was the kids at the pro-life rally.
Why? Does what high school some goes to make that statement more or less acceptable?
No, it doesn't.
This is what happens when adults use children for their own purposes. Catholic high schools bus children in for the 'pro-life' march which is treated as a 'fun school trip'. It's a big deal to them to show all the young people - probably many of whom are there just to have fun and could care less about abortion one way or the other.
The statement made by the young man was reprehensible and his lack of maturity OR respect for women and girls is clearly showing.

No wonder, since that lie was spread by every major media outlet from the NYT on down.
Nathan needs to meet with the Black Israelites and ask why they rained on his parade.
They seem to have a lot in common.
