Everybody involved was wrong here. Still, where were the parents during this ordeal? As a mother I would have never allowed a confrontation involving my child to escalate to this level. I believe the parents may have failed them most.

(CNN)A Kentucky high school under scrutiny after students faced off with a Native American elder is closed Tuesday “to ensure the safety of students,” according to Kenton County Commonwealth’s Attorney Rob Sanders.

On Monday, Sanders said officials at Covington Catholic High School in Park Hills met with local law enforcement to come up with a plan to ensure student safety. Sanders told CNN the move came after threats against the school and some students in the wake of an incident captured in a viral video over the weekend at the March for Life in Washington.

“After meeting with local authorities, we have made the decision to cancel school and be closed on Tuesday, January 22, in order to ensure the safety of our students, faculty and staff,” says a letter from school principal Robert Rowe that was posted on CNN affiliate WKRC’s website.

“All activities on campus will be canceled for the entire day and evening. Students, parents, faculty and staff are not to be on campus for any reason. Please continue to keep the Covington Catholic Community in your prayers,” Rowe wrote.

Thanks for reminding me Truth. I saw that video from all angels and I never saw one parent or chaperone step in to do anything. All I saw was a bunch of white kids screaming with their shirt off and shouting at the native americans. Where were the adults in all this is my question.

I’ll echo BD…thanks for doing this story DJ. Indeed lots of people have been talking about it for days. .

When the initial video-clip went viral I knew there was more to the story. I waited for more info to come out and now we have a clearer picture of what happened.

Okay so DJ asked: “Did the Black Hebrew Israelites spark the entire confrontation with their presence and/or words toward the white teens?”

No. They didn’t spark the “entire” confrontation but they do share part of the blame.

And clearly those Catholic students are also to blame. They were there to attend the “March For Life” rally. Instead they marched their sorry behinds over to the Indigenous People of America march wearing those MAGA hats, knowing darn well what they were doing!

“Interestingly, the Kentucky Catholic School parents allowed and likely encouraged their sons to wear the MAGA hats to the rally that day.”

There you have it!

I am glad you did this story today because everybody has been talking about this for days. I think you have a good point. It was the hats. Like it or not these hats have become a sign of racism. When these white boys started walking around in a group wearing hats it stirred up a lot of anger. I don’t think those Black hebrews were in the right at all but the hats is what started it all. Like DJ said if they were not wearing Trump hats they would have just been some white boys walking around.
