13) Phillips walked up in a non-threatening way, singing a prayer while hitting a drum. If he was in your personal space, why didn’t you move? People get in my personal space all the time on the subway or an elevator and if uncomfortable I move somewhere else.

14) “I will not stand for this mob-like character assassination of my family's name.” Sorry you're receiving threats. I tweeted shortly after sharing the clip for people NOT to release names of minors as two names that had been released were not accurate. Doxxing kids is wrong.

15) “I thank him for his service & am grateful to anyone who puts on the uniform to defend our nation." That is very kind of you to say, but your actions were a blatant sign of disrespect & this paragraph sounds like it was written by your dad… or an attorney to drum up sympathy

16) “…I would caution everyone passing judgement based on a few seconds of video to watch the longer video clips.” I’ve watched all the clips. It doesn’t change the fact you stared this man down like he was a joke. With your students hysterically laughing and tomahawking at him.

17) You can clearly hear a student say, “Land gets stolen. That’s how it works. It’s the way of the world.” That is not appropriate. That is not respect. That is pure white privilege.

18) Getting the opportunity to say you did nothing wrong and having outlets print your statement IN FULL without any context (@cnn) is white privilege. Had you been a group of black teens who did this, would the response have been the same?

19) Nothing in the student’s entire statement recognized the indigenous struggle or that an apology is due. It was a legal statement as per the account of a high school student & likely written by an attorney. The statement is a whitewashing of the incident that occurred.

20) In wearing a MAGA hat in public, you must own the responsibility that comes with it. For many, it represents violence, hatred, misogyny, and more. You have the freedom to wear it. That is your choice. But know that hat is seen by many as a threat to their very existence.
