The Kentucky bishop who threatened to expel high school students who were confronted by a religious fringe group and a group of Native Americans in Washington apologized for the threat, claiming he was “bullied” and “pressured” to make the statement.
Covington Catholic High School students in the nation’s capital on Jan. 18 were accosted by Black Hebrew Israelites, who hurled a slew of obscenities at them. Then, Native American activist Nathan Phillips approached them and started banging a drum in the face of one student, Nick Sandmann, while a member of his group shouted at the students to “go back to Europe.”
