The apparatchiks of the social justice left piled on to ensure that heads would roll. The activist gathering site Change.org shows a petition demanding changes at Covington Catholic School, including the termination of the principal. Clearly petrified by the avalanche of bad press, the administrators at Covington initially condemned the actions of their own students, some of whom were said to face expulsion. There were even reports that Covington parents have received death threats.
Unsurprisingly, this entire incident has been egregiously mischaracterized to bash the Catholic, Donald Trump-supporting teenagers, and protect some adult left wing protestors from accountability for acting very poorly. The media saw an opportunity to advance a preferred narrative of privileged, white, Trump-supporting students disrespecting a Native American elder for no reason other than a “dislike of others.” And they ran with it.
