7th And 8th-Graders From Owensboro Catholic Schools Right To Life March Confront Nathan Phillips At Indigenous Peoples March

Catholic schools under fire for comments at Indigenous Peoples March; school officials, father respond

As Covington Catholic High School is receiving national backlash for actions taken at the Indigenous Peoples March in Washington D.C. Friday, video has emerged on social media of a young man in an Owensboro Catholic High School hoodie and “Trump” hat addressing Native Americans at the Lincoln Memorial. In the video featuring the student from Owensboro Catholic High School, after a group of Native American men walked by, a voice can be heard saying, “Just because you stole the land, don’t make it yours.” The young man in the hoodie can be heard replying, “…and y’all stole it from the Aboriginals…it’s been stolen throughout all of history…land gets stolen…it’s how it works…it’s the way of the world.” President of Owensboro Catholic Schools Tom Lilly said some of the 7th- and 8th-graders from OCS traveled to Washington D.C. to support the annual Right to Life March being held on Friday, Jan. 18, but they did not have a high school sponsored trip this year. In reference to the high school student seen in the video, Lilly said some of the students were there with their parents. “The school-sponsored trip all got back last night and they served us very proudly,” Lilly said.
