The big story of the past seven days
✣ Catholic students caught in media backlash
What happened?
A Catholic school in Kentucky faced a backlash after some of its students engaged in a stand-off with a Native American protester at the March for Life in Washington, DC. The incident, recorded in a short video, drew fierce condemnation. Howard Dean, a prominent Democrat politician, said Covington Catholic High School seemed to be a “factory of hate” and suggested it should close. As the Herald went to press, 20,000 had signed a petition calling for the principal to be sacked.
