Yup. These people have lost their minds. |
It was just announced that Covington will be closed today. It was supposed to open, with much greater security, but will remain closed. Reports aren't clear whether the closing is due to weather or due to security concerns. I hope the social media mob is happy. |
And I think there are posters who are so eager to crucify anyone in their overwhelming, obsessive hatred for Trump that they blindly interpret everything. I am a Dem and not a Trump supporter and this kind of thing only damages us. |
Reading this sent chills down my spine. I am going to meditate and pray for the students, families and Diocese. May the Holy Spirit guide them and give them strength against these forces. |
I just heard it was due to security. The school sent out a press release. This makes me so damned mad. These kids are suffering consequences for a social media mob that is totally out of control. |

To be fair, given things like the recent rape charges and the several instances of blackface at hoops games, maybe it is time for the students at the school to reflect on what appears to be years of their imposing their negative values on their community?
Everyone needs to take a step back on this. |
IT WASN'T BLACKFACE! It was a "blackout game," genius. So sick of the rumors you and others are spreading. Proof: NYTimes article about blackout games:https://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/05/sports/ncaafootball/05blackout.html Student who attended the school at the time: https://twitter.com/ryantoler_/status/1087517789684936704 Another student who attended school at the time: https://twitter.com/andrewcch12/status/1087532530130190336 "Years of imposing negative values?" Bull$hit. You, dear, are the one that needs to take a step back. |
There is a hierarchy: White adults White kids Adults of color Kids of color If you're being a shithead to someone lower in the hierarchy, it's ok. |
Wow. |

Is ok to grab them. Not ok to celebrate them. |
So black t-shirts are one thing. Painting their faces black? Who ever thought that’d be ok? This community has poor judgement. |
There is a difference between black face and a blackout game. Sorry you don't get that. To see a racial angle with every situation is a sad way to go through life. |
Information about the Twitter account that started this firestorm. I am certain that authorities will eventually identify the person.

Poor judgement. The first adult that sees a kid with blackface should have shut that down This is also a group who systematically exploits kids to push their political agenda. So not very surprising. Poor judgment. Questionable morals. |
