Covington Catholic High School Motto - "They Have to be Carefully Taught" [View all]

Well, that's probably not the official motto, but the nice, white, Catholic boys who go there are certainly being taught something. They're being taught that they're better than others. They're being taught to have contempt for those without their privilege. They're being carefully taught that it's OK to mock people you consider to be inferior. They are being taught that women do not have the right to control their own reproductive lives.

All this stuff, they're learning at an exclusive Catholic high school, under the auspices of the Bishop of Covington and the Diocese of Covington. Oddly enough, that same Diocese had to pay out over $100 Million over child sexual abuse claims against priests in that Diocese. But, they're carefully teaching those Catholic boys a lot of things. One of the former students of that school is in prison now, for viciously raping and sodomizing a girl. Perhaps he learned about that there, too.



Above is a still from a video of the students of that exclusive Catholic School in blackface, taunting a black player from another school on the basketball court. I guess that's OK, because there were teachers from that school standing right there as they did that, carefully teaching them that people of color do not deserve respect.

Covington Catholic School is an exclusive school. It excludes the black and hispanic Catholic children who live in and near Covington, Kentucky. None of those can be found in photos of the Covington student body. Covington is for the well-to-do white Catholic boys in the area. It's truly exclusive in that regard.

"They Have to be Carefully Taught." So, Covington does just that, with the blessing of the Catholic Church. It's carefully teaching them the true traditions of White Christianity, as it sees them. Yes, indeed. Those boys are getting the best teaching available to them from the Diocese of Covington. They're privileged to learn that their privilege is real and deserved.

A lovely school for those boys. Yes, indeed. A good Catholic Christian school. It's a pity that Jesus probably wouldn't have been allowed to attend that school. Too swarthy, I'm thinking.
