The family of Covington Catholic student Nick Sandmann is suing The Washington Post for how it covered the viral incident following the March for Life. From a Catholic perspective, an open and honest conversation is the preferred option.

The Catholic high school student at the center of an encounter with a Native American tribal leader in Washington filed a $250 million defamation lawsuit Feb. 19 against The Washington Post claiming the newspaper's coverage of the incident was biased.

The confirmation hearings for Brett Kavanaugh and the video of Covington Catholic High School students have launched many discussions about privilege. But private schools in the U.S. have long furthered the cause of democracy.

The investigation, conducted by Greater Cincinnati Investigation Inc., which has no connection with the high school or diocese, "demonstrated that our students did not instigate the incident that occurred at the Lincoln Memorial," the bishop said.

We look at the Synod’s final document and talk about what still needs to be done to have young people lead in the Catholic Church.

"The best we can do is, first of all, to find out the truth, to find out what really went on, what really happened," Bishop Foys said.

Bishop John Stowe of Lexington, Ky., wrote that in a newspaper column this week that he was "astonished" that students at the March for Life would be aligned with the "Make America Great Again" movement.

The furor over a chance meeting between Catholic high school students and Native American protesters underscores the need to listen and learn from indigenous voices.

A Kentucky boys' school shut down its campus Tuesday as a precaution and a small protest was held outside their diocese as fallout continued over an encounter involving white teenagers, Native American marchers and a black religious sect outside the Lincoln Memorial last week.
