People could contact them there, perhaps, to comment on the behavior of their students.

(758 posts)Who oversees this school, who is on the Board of Directors. Who oversees the Catholic schools in that state? I noted someone had tweeted the Pope himself about this!! The whole school needs to be cleaned out, everyone fired, and no college for racists, let them serve French fries for the rest of the miserable lives.

(758 posts)fired. Where was the supervision? Drastic changes need to happen to the design of the school - looks like toxic masculinity that needs to be taken down many pegs. It needs to admit women and increase its diversity. It needs to focus on what Jesus taught instead of football and Bret Kavanaugh style of masculinity. The administration should all be fired, and the board of directors fired too. Bring in the Pope and he will show how the students need to wash that Marine's feet.

I'm sure these kids were taught "Manifest Destiny" in school. That's what I learned in my public school in the South. We didn't learn about the indigenous people we slaughtered and moved to reservations. Whose land we stole. Nope, we just learned it was the way things were meant to be.

(100,104 posts)One thing that is becoming an increasingly common factor in all these racists is that racism is learned and supported and encouraged by the community that they live in. It's a matter of hate begats hate.
To stop it, we have to take a look at the communities that support it. Just like talk radio, it starts at the lowest level and works its way up to the national level. To me this speaks volumes about the environment those kids grew up in.
If they are told that hate is wrong, that wouldn't stop them from doing it, but at the same time they would know that it is. But these kids most likely were never told they were wrong. They were probably encouraged by their parents, community, and church to hate people who weren't like them.

(22,171 posts)development they got it into their minds that it was okay to do this, especially against a fellow American. Surprising that if they go to a Cath. school that this would happen (I live in a Cath. area loaded w/ schools and such), and most of them were decent kids. Something happened along the way w/ these kids and they left their thinking hats at home I guess.

(22,171 posts)used was severely mentally challenged. That's it. For some reason you are picking up this as me using this word 'racism'. I won't deny the severely mentally challenged word because this word is definitely better than the word I was called when I was in special school for the severely mentally challenged (I was called a mental retard). And all I was profoundly hard of hearing. At 9 years old they finally discovered a kid still in special school was all he had was a hearing problem. So this is why I use the 'severely mentally challenged' words.
Again, where in the world are you getting 'racism' from my posts, or do you need a dictionary?

(3,257 posts)It is the least racist place I have ever lived in. The churches have been active in providing asylum and defending immigrants. We also have many recent Muslim immigrants and there is little problem with. I think the difference the culture. Many of the Churches were founded by eastern Europeans who were also ostracized. They are also an urban group, not a rich white, suburban bunch. There is also really only one Party, here and its Democratic Party.

octoberlib
(14,971 posts)Ahluwalia said a woman at the march counted between 50 and 70 people in the pro-Trump group that confronted Phillips and other Native American demonstrators. Various people in the group appear to be wearing the schools clothing.
The group consisted of mostly white men who sought to intimidate, mock, and scare us with a mob mentality in order to silence a demonstration that was mostly concluded, the woman wrote in one of the tweets. The group outnumbered us and enclosed our small group, chanting build the wall and other trumpisms.

These kids were shouting "build the wall" to NATIVE AMERICANS.

they probably thing Phillips was an "illegal immigrant" and want him to "go back where he came from".

(1,148 posts)I've been too aware of this movement for decades, as someone who had twelve years of Catholic schooling and their "pro-life" propaganda. They get in bed with racists and do and say nothing about it. All they care about are fetuses.
May they all be damned to hell.
As someone who did attend a very liberal Catholic grammar school, I know how un-Christian this is, and it upset me deeply. This is not what I was taught. This is not what Jesus was about. These kids were never taught to see this man as a brother.
This is the Catholic Church's fault. All of these Catholic high schools care about is success and prestige. They want to boast about how successful their graduates are. They claim to teach values, and they turn their students into Klan members.

(5,345 posts)Shame on you! Were you there? Did you hear the names the people where calling these boys? It was shameful.

Did you know that this man came up to this one boy and drummed in his face? Shame on you. Only reporting what you want. More fake news.
