It is kinda funny though that as soon as the student sympathizers find a video they feel paints them in a better light, it's now the COMPLETE IREFFUTABLE VIDEO, and not a vid that leaves many of the students offscreen, inaudible, and us rife with awkward camera angles.

At least this kid is getting an early lesson that he shouldn't dress so provocatively or hang out with people taking their tops off or stand directly in someone's personal space where it might be misinterpreted a certain way.

imo the lesson should be that pro-life field trips are a lot less about active engagement and a lot more about rote expression of received values
in this case, the actual values came out when they started chanting at a completely different event than they were there for. save your energy for the march! this isn't your fight
i'd give the students a very small portion of blame for the whole thing compared to the school chaperones and their parents, who think having teens (who likely don't give a shit) chanting at a pro-life event does anything useful at reinforcing their beliefs or convincing others
what are the odds the kids smuggled a bunch of booze and more than a few of them are buzzed in the pics? having known some kids who went to a similar, but overall less conservative private catholic school, i'd say... pretty good

Yes. But are they old enough to be publicly blamed for being dickheads by millions of anonymous adults?

we'll say one thousand blame points for school, 750 for parents, 500 or so for the kids

They were waiting for the bus to go home. They should've removed themselves (+ adults) from the situation completely.

I mean Covington is getting dragged at this point (with the rape and the blackface) so they are getting their blame points.

I gotta say, "Won't someone think of the pro-life, MAGA-hatted, teen dickholes" was not a take I expected on ILX.
Let's try to stay positive people: maybe their bus will crash on the way to their next rally.

he probably won't face permanent consequences for being caught on camera in a MAGA hat smirking at a native american maybe in a more enlightened society

Feel like in a more enlightened society Nicholas Sandmann, whose mother Julie Sandmann is the vice president of Relationship Management at Fidelity Investments and father Ted Sandmann is a sales manager for a VT Hackney, should probably be ostracized for confronting minorities while wearing what's essentially a klan hood

There's some weird takes in this thread. If you think, even for a second, that they were dancing in chanting in solidarity, give your head a shake.
