Retweet to second the motion.

The last thing Native Americans need is to host a bunch of racist white kids on a missions trip. There are plenty of ways to unlearn white supremacy without further endangering people of color. We are not your (or your children's) object lesson.

We should lock up any people who might be attempting kindness? What's the charge?
Water leaving?
Attempted kindness?
At least not the harder charge that comes with a minimum of 10 years.
Kindness in the First Degree.

I do hope college admissions committees take into account quality of character in assessing the applications of the high schoolers who harassed and threatened native rights activist and U.S. veteran Nathan Phillips.

Apparently, the Dems should be negotiating with Ann Coulter since she seems to have Trumps nuts in her handbag. #TrumpIsAWimp

40 years ago I guarantee you those kids would have been disciplined by their school, perhaps even suspended (teachers too). This is progress MAGA style. Respect for life begins with respect for the living. #MarchForLife #CovingtonCatholic

You can donate to the organization where the Native elder, who was harassed in DC by the Covington teens, has given his time. Lifting up the right people so they can do more of what they've been doing. nativeyouthleadership.org/

This thread details what happened to @macduckworth at #CovingtonCatholic when he came out as gay.
It's a heartbreaking thread that underscores what I wrote this morning about my own Catholic school experience.
@macduckworth deserves all our support.💜

Talking with Nathan Phillips now ... stay tuned for an extensive interview on his thoughts about the incident in Washington D.C. in @IndianCountry

This is heartbreaking. Such disrespect and racism
Video showing a group of high school boys, many wearing "Make America Great Again" gear, surrounding and jeering a Native American elder at the Indigenous Peoples March in Washington, is drawing widespread condemnation nyti.ms/2FNeVKr

This thread. Damn, this school seems to be trying to turn out a bunch of Brett Kavanaughs.

The more I read from alums of Covington catholic about the abuse, bullying and cruelty there, the more I come to believe that the students thuggish behavior is a feature of the school, not a symptom. Just like with all Trumpism - based on bullying, arrogance, and hatred.

.@realDonaldTrump has shut down the government over a crisis we now know he deliberately created. The administration was treating children as political pawns, not vulnerable human beings. That’s reprehensible, and those responsible must be held accountable.

Nathan Phillips' behavior in the face of that crowd demonstrates why we have so much respect for our elders. Our society is failing a portion of our youth, as these young men highlight with their misguided actions. Leadership starts with each of us. Thank you, Nathan Phillips.

More disturbing #CovingtonCatholic info:
This young man who went to a nearby school details homophobic harassment by students after he came out — including saying his name was put on a “prayer board” inside the school and called out during announcements:

The video of the MAGA kids harassing an indigenous veteran further demonstrate the consequences of having public displays of racism & bigotry sanctioned by the most powerful person in the country. It should disabuse ppl of the notion that such public racism will simply “die out.”
