Use this Diocesan website contact form to communicate with the Diocese of Cavoington KYY and VERY RESPECTULLY explain why their response is a violation of Catholic teachings on human dignity:

Dear Diocese of Covington, Would that Catholic teaching "on the dignity and respect of the human person" apply to Catholic high school boys' presumption of innocence, too?
Their right not to be subjected to condemnation with scant
Their right to confront their accusers and defend themselves from moral defamation?
This order of action...
...is not acceptable.
I watched the videos with a gimlet eye. The boys had been doing school cheers. They did not surround, harass or mock the Black Hebrews, nor Philips and his retinue of videographers, They kept to their own group, approached nobody, confronted nobody, did not respond tit-for-tat with the Black Hebrew group (who, as you probably know by now, were apparently the original provocateurs)
Notably, it was Nathan Philips and his videographers who waded right into the students' group, drumming in their faces.
On what do ou base your condemnation?
The boy in the center, Nicholas Sandmann, as of now --- at the present state of the evidence --- stands accused to responding to overt provocation by smiling patiently for minutes at a time with what might have been ineptly-calibrated warmth.
This is no indictable offense, since it involves scrutiny of an interior disposition, which is not possible.
On the other hand, Nathan Philips and his videographers deserve a second look.
Another look, as well, to the reactivists who have already doxxed Nicholas Sandmann; solicited battery against him, his family, and his classmates; and contacted the admissions offices of colleges and universities round about, to make sure his personal destruction is as permanent as they can make it.
You owe these boys an apology. It ought to be sent to all your press contacts and read from every pulpit in the Diocese of Covington this coming Sunday.
Sincerely yours in Christ,

Hi! I don't have the Nat Review contact info at hand, and I'll be out for the day. If you want to adapt my letter to the Diocese of Covington (link above) and send it to NR, go right on ahead.
Please do, and send me a copy here with their email address, so I can then write another one.
I'm angry enough to chew up train tracks and spit staples.
Sue the bass turds blind!!!!
How about this for a sign pointing back across the street? ---
"Hating what you perceive as Hate still doesn't justify your being a Hater".
Dick Blumenthal: "Nathan was my best good friend. And even I know that ain't something you an find just around the corner. Nathan was gonna be a leftist agitator but instead he died right there by that drum in Kentucky".
Sue the scuzzballs.
Did you tell your kids the truth?
