SPLC Blames 'Privileged' Covington Catholic Teen for Native American 'Anguish'

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC)'s Teaching Tolerance project doubled down, however, seeking to teach a lesson.

On Friday, Teaching Tolerance senior writer Cory Collins warned that hearing "both sides" of this story is not enough. He suggested that because Sandmann — a teenager so roundly mocked and villainized by the media that his parents have hired a lawyer to sue for libel or slander — had unique privilege in this situation, America's teachers should focus on Phillips's experience as a teaching moment about the oppression of Native Americans.

I would say that suing SPLC would be going after a plump-@$$ bird, but they would just hide their money in an offshore bank account in the Caymans that much sooner.

There I was thinking nobody could make themselves look more stupid with this issue and then this comes along and proves me wrong.

So standing silently with a beatific smile requires privilege?

I trust the SPLC is on the list for libel suits. They are worth billions.

This is so infuriating.

Robert Ringer (author and libertarian) once quoted a joke based on Kipling:
If you can keep your head while everyone around you is losing theirs, it means you don’t understand the real situation.

Hopefully this will be the shark jumping moment for the splc. They are scum.

Sue them for their false attacks on the high school students.

Make them defend their lies under oath in a Court of Law.

Let them fund raise to pay the judgements.

I am so relieved the SPLC is taking up the cause for Northern Indians. For a while I was loosing a lot of sleep that there was no one out there to champion them.

I saw the kids lawyer on Watters World, and he listed a number of people who are going to be sued. I hope the SPLC is added to that list. It would be nice to see the kids take possession of their huge, lavish Poverty Palace in Montgomery.

How can all this end outside of a civil war, the real kind? For the last week we have watched the occasional culprits on my side try their pretty lame, for the most part, mea culpas. I would like to see the editors at National Review issue bona fide mea culpas such that they say they lied by promoting a lie. In other words don't try to white wash it hoping it will go away.

The other side, though, is absolutely promoting a real live civil war because they are impossible to talk to. There can be zero communication when words don't have definitions. Liberals in this country simply run at the mouth. Blaming MAGA hats for the inexcusable behavior of really bad people makes it impossible to communicate. That is, there is no basis for communication.

They are not “Native Americans.”

Their ancestors came here from Asia.
