In all of the attention surrounding what happened with the Covington Catholic student and the Native American in Washington on Saturday, it must be remembered that one is a kid and the other is an adult.
One other thing I’d note in all the hate against the Covington kid: We have an adult banging his drum inches from a kid’s face. Putting aside political biases and just focusing on decency — who is more responsible for defusing a tense situation, the adult or the kid?

And with the entire video now showing that there was previous provoking by the adult, it certainly should have an impact on the narrative.
This is a great point. Now that we have hours of video footage, who should have taken the lead here, the adult or the child? Why are the adults getting a pass for their behavior because of their ideology? https://t.co/fhdISTu0bh

Plus, there were other adults present who did nothing to help the situation.
Also, I don’t care what a kid expresses — an adult has a responsibility to behave as an adult and set the tone. The name-calling and slurs said on video by the other adults present is inexcusable.

There are also adults in the media who have continued in propagating the idea that this young student was responsible for a major altercation.
Why mislead? Despite new information, CNN is still going with this headline for Covington Catholic story https://t.co/B9fzo6mki3 pic.twitter.com/HLU2VYgRRq

It is wrong in both cases.
