I am so deeply grieved and angry by this as young kids in MAGA hats surrounded and mocked a beloved Native American elder yesterday. When your power is centered in your whiteness, mocking others who are unlike you makes you feel strong. But it’s weak. And despicable. pic.twitter.com/38FtzGtowL

  He looks very pleased and proud of himself. I bet his parents are even more proud. He's gone viral!

  What’s even more disturbing is how people parent kids to think this is acceptable. Respect for elders no matter WHO they are and love all.

  This is learned. It is taught at home. It is accepted, maybe even praised, but definitely modeled AT HOME. Parents should be ashamed, but they were probably proud

  Thank you for sharing this bio of a great American. He should be respected even if he didn’t have such an admirable life. These young adults remind me of what Judge Kavanaugh would have been like as a teenager.

  Is there a way to get in contact with him? I would love to show him support, respect, and admiration. This man is a hero.

  Curious as to whether the school's corporate sponsors approve of this behavior by students at #covingtoncatholic at the #IndigenousPeoplesMarch @StElizabethNKY @OrthoCincy @GBS_Cincy @usbank @barleycornskypic.twitter.com/mBKErBxEHl
