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.

21) No surprise here, but it appears the only people who believe what I stated above to be untrue... are WHITE. I urge you all to read the comments that follow that tweet.

22) Many have responded to me saying that celebrities and journalists have called for the death of the students. I have yet to see those tweets. Please send them to me. AGAIN, I believe doxxing/threatening kids is wrong. Some exceptions: Ethan Couch, baby Hitler, Dylann Roof...
