The scandalous story of the controversial behavior of students Catholic schools of the Lincoln memorial took an unexpected turn.
Nick’s family Sandmann, the student, caught in the spotlight after posting a viral video with an Indian elder, sued the authoritative edition of the Washington Post and requires $250 million in compensation.
According to the lawyers Sandmann, journalists, WP introduced the student Kovingtonskoy Catholic schools in a negative manner, pre-hung on him the label of racist. Lawyers say: the newspaper accused the young man «that he is white».
Because of this reputation Nika Sandmann had suffered «irreparable harm», and the guy was harassed. After posting viral videos, the student began to threaten in social networks and regularly insult, as he himself said in an official statement.
The scandal around students Kovingtonskoy Catholic schools erupted in the so-called «March for life». In a video released the kids of the school, dressed in caps «Make America great again», laughing and overreacting to the actions of the Indian elders, who performs a ritual chant. In the spotlight – Nick Sandmann who looks into the eyes of the elderly man, smiling in response to his movements.
Initially, the conflict began to turn around a dispute between students and African American and native American elder intervened, trying to diffuse the situation. At least, that’s according to the old man. According to the Indian elders, it turns out that the students shouted at him insults, mocked him, and advised «to go to Africa.»
However, the version of nick Sandmann is radically different from the story of an elderly man. The young man claims that nobody mocked native Americans. According to him, the disciples Kovingtonskoy Catholic school sports chants chanted, not insults.
The guy also said that the actions of the Indian elders embarrassed him, so he tried to respond to the chants composed, without provoking further scandal.
Sandmann family now intends to sue a number of publications that have published viral videos. The first lawsuit was filed against the Washington Post, the lawyers promised that «this is only the beginning.» The publication is ready to defend its position in court and actively build protection.
