“Gay valedictorian banned from speaking at Covington graduation ‘not surprised’ by D.C. controversy”

Wait – so an openly gay (so what) student went to what High School? Covington? Not! He went to Holy Cross High School. And the Catholic Diocese (of that district) determined that he (and another (non-gay) student ) couldn’t read their speeches because (a) they weren’t turned in on time and (2) they were overly political and not in keeping with tradition – therefore (NBC!) determines they were “banned”. NBC’s intention is to brand Covington diocese students as haters, homophobes and racists. Why let the truth get in the way of the narrative! Slander away!
