Re: ANTIFA goons plan protest at Covington Catholic High
It shows how broken the country is.
I really can't believe that some people need it explained to them why making Tomahawk chops and mocking chants to a Native American is a third level of wrong in any context.Impeding the old man's progress, and staring him down. It was idiotic and confrontational. It was absolutely out-of-line. Also, the tomahawk hand gestures were 100% wrong and unequivocal, in my opinion. And singing the fight song? Geezus, talk about doing the wrong thing at the wrong time.
My old school would not allow these behaviours, and neither would my kids' (I believe).
If I were the school:
1] I'd discipline the MAGA kid and all the tomahawk kids with JUGs (detentions). JUG is not on the kids' school records, and does not suspend them. It simply gives them a time-out where they have to report outside of school hours for either 4 or 8 hours to a detention classroom. They sit in desks with absolutely no talking allowed, but they may read or do homework if they so desire. JUG is a rolling thing, so further (or previous) JUGs are cumulative in determining the length of detention. Too many JUGs could be cause for dismissal, though.
2] I'd really question the teacher about the fight song, and he or she better really impress upon me that in his or her stress they chose it as some form of ill-advised safety measure. I mean better REALLY impress this upon me.
3] Obviously there's going to be a ton of education on social awareness coupled with safety training.
Oh, and "JUG" = "Justice Under Good".
