"It's not at all clear this was intended as an act of mockery rather than solidarity." Give me a dang break. People need to stop viewing Reason as above the political fray.
I've watched the long video, which everyone should watch. True, the Native Americans did verbal battle with the MAGA kids. They weren't victims. The scene was crazy and complicated. But the Covington boys could've disengaged. I don't see the absolution.https://reason.com/blog/2019/01/20/covington-catholic-nathan-phillips-video …

It is certainly complicated -- enough that the media should have held back until they had all the information.

When I view the video, I can't get past all these kids wearing MAGA gear, and with implicit school approval on an official school class trip. That is the non-verbal battle.

Thank you. The Covington boys wore Trump hats to an Indigenous Peoples March after Trump spent the week calling Elizabeth Warren 'Pocahontas' & invoked Wounded Knee. These things do not happen in a vacuum.

MAGA hats are a hate symbol. Trump is a racist who uses racism as political gasoline. That's what those hats mean. This also comes in the context of the Catholic Church's long history of abuse of native peoples:https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2019/01/20/catholic-churchs-shameful-history-native-american-abuses/?utm_term=.7eb1eea29f53 …

Which long video? The second one that was slightly longer or the one that is over an hour?
