Investigation findings RELEASED into the Covington Catholic school kids with Nathan Phillips

The official investigation into the encounter at the Lincoln Memorial in January between the Covington Catholic school kids and both Nathan Phillips and the Black Hebrew Israelites has been completed.

You won’t be shocked to know that the investigation found NO racist or offensive conduct by the students whatsoever:

WASHINGTON POST – An investigation released Wednesday into an encounter between Covington Catholic High School students and Native American activists at the Lincoln Memorial last month largely supports the students’ accounts of the incident, which prompted immediate and widespread condemnation of the boys after a video of the encounter went viral.

The report, prepared by Greater Cincinnati Investigation, Inc. and dated Feb. 11, employed four licensed investigators for approximately 240 hours to take statements from students and chaperones, as well as to interview third-party witnesses and review about 50 hours of video. Investigators were not able to interview either Phillips or Sandmann in person and instead reviewed the student’s written account.

The investigators said they found no evidence that the students responded in an offensive manner to the Black Hebrew Israelites or that they chanted “Build the Wall.” After asking chaperones, they performed a school cheer, according to the report, to drown out the Black Hebrew Israelites.

Other key findings include testimony that the students felt “confused” by Phillips’s approach. Investigators said they found no evidence of “racist or offensive statements by students to Mr. Phillips,” though some performed a “tomahawk chop.”

According to the report, one of the chaperones told students that if “they engaged in a verbal exchange with the Black Hebrew Israelites, they would receive detention when returning to school.”

According to the report, most boys bought the red hats bearing President Trump’s MAGA slogan in Washington on the day of the March for Life. In previous years, some students bought “Hope” hats in support of President Obama, the report says.

The Bishop of Covington welcomed the report in a statement on the diocese’s website. Roger Foys wrote that he was pleased “that my hope and expectation expressed in my letter to you of 25 January that the results of our inquiry … would ‘exonerate our students so that they can move forward with their lives’ has been realized.”

I know that none of you are shocked by this, as we already knew the Catholic kids did nothing wrong.

But I suppose it’s good to have it on the record since there are plenty of idiots still running around saying the Catholic kids were wrong.

And the legal team for the Covington kids can certainly use this if they go through with suing celebrities and the media for destroying the lives of Sandman and his fellow classmates.
