The events surrounding the Covington kids are why PR firms make the big money.
The Covington Kids are in D.C. videod being horrible for a few hours after their "Pro Life" rally.
The Native American Veteran they were being especially shitty to has a statement about "Man, those kids were assholes, nothing illegal, but I hope those asshole kids grow up to not be such assholes".
People start to wonder, "Hey, where were the chapperones?" And "Isn't it weird that school doesn't have a single nonwhite faculty member?"
Well the firm of Runswitch PR is to the rescue! First, here is two hours of the kids being assholes to various other assholes and nonassholes in the D.C. area. Nothing in any of it exonerates the kids from clearly asshole behavior, in fact in includes them doing tomahawk type chants and saying "It's not rape if you like it!" but PR firms know that no one is going to watch a full 2 hour video, we have lives and such, so they can say "This video shows the REAL villians!" And some folks will just gobble up that slop.
And the PR firm uses it's contacts to push this non story that is supported by non evidence to it's non critical thinking audience and it works.
What happened to all the Journalism grads? They work in PR.
This school is in the same diocese that hired a PR firm after they got caught harboring an inordinate number of child molesters. They aren't new to this game.
We will bend over backwards to "unsee" things if sufficiently well paid PR folks tell us too.
Courier story about the PR firm here
The PR firm had the school website shut down rather than folks find pics of all the various "Wow, what assholes!" and "Holy Shit is that a kid in blackface in 2018? Like with the lips done up and everything? Full on Al Jolsen level blackface?" photos out there.
They had the asshole kids offer an asshole non-apology by video. You see, they were "praying" for that kind man, and that's the kid's smug-ass praying face. Believeable!
And the PR firm KNEW that their target audience would disregard the accounts of the Native Americans who were actually there, because of course.
Great cartoon take on how PR to the rescue looks like in practice here
