Covington Catholic High School Closed Over Security Concerns Following Viral Video

Neetu Chandak on January 22, 2019

An all-boys Catholic school in Kentucky is closed over security concerns following a viral video showing its students in Make America Great Again (MAGA) hats in an encounter with an American Indian.

While the initial video made it seem like the students were mocking the American Indian Nathan Phillips, a complete, unedited version, shows Phillips had approached the students. There have been doxxing attempts since the video was released.

A letter addressed to parents said Covington Catholic High School will be closed Tuesday over security concerns. All on-campus activities and events will be closed as well.

“Students, parents, faculty and staff are not to be on campus for any reason,” Principal Bob Rowe wrote in the letter.

American Indians are reportedly planning to protest outside the school, One America News reported Tuesday. The teens also claim they have received death threats.

The school issued an apology to Phillips Saturday, prior to the full video being circulated.

All-girls school Notre Dame Academy, which is across the street from the boys’ school, will have increased security, WLWT 5 reported.

  • It is a sad, sad day in America when students are threatened with death and their right to an education is being denied on this day! Is this the way it will be in the future?

    All those involved in this vicious smear campaign, the media who publicized the "fake" story, and those who threatened these young people need to have justice meted out to them! The question is: Who is going to see that justice is done?

  • The Covington Catholoic HS administration AND that of the diocese are revealed as sniveling, groveling, mindless, genitalia free Cuck SJW manginas...that bow down to Marxist Novo-Bolsheviki narrative and example...just like that Commie Jesuit poseur in Rome that illegitimately occupies The Papacy...
    for throwing those kids under the bus...
    and the snivelers wonder why so many Roman Catholics are now lapsed and unwilling to go along with the current Hard Left agenda.
    The kids were waiting to return from participation in the Right To Life March.
    The ridiculous, rammy, scruffy, insane "BLAK Hee-bros" started the melee, and that silly ass old Injun, that bangs a drum and makes random mouth noises as a coping mechanism, came over to the kids and got right in the face of the one that's being demonized by stupid and Leftist scum.
    Regarding the phony gang of "native---NOT" casino beneficiaries demonstrating outside the school...
    replicate the Wounded Knee Massacre with mini-guns and flamethrowers.
    Then, do the same with the "BLAK Hee-bros", the goofy Chimps.

  • FASCIST LEFT AT IT AGAIN!
    The Democrats continue to move more and more into Fascism with this latest total lie and their calls for "confrontation" which is a Fascist codeword for "violence."

  • I think it's going to take something, well, rather drastic, to make the fascist news media stop reporting lies.
