From the Daily Mail:
The private Catholic high school at the center of the viral clash at Lincoln Memorial on Friday has closed for the safety of its students after claiming to have received threats and consulting local police.Meanwhile the president backs the kids over the left-wing media mob. "Nick Sandmann and the students of Covington have become symbols of Fake News", Donald Trump Tweeted early this morning, "and how evil it can be. They have captivated the attention of the world, and I know they will use it for the good - maybe even to bring people together. It started off unpleasant, but can end in a dream!
Covington Catholic High School principal Robert Rowe told parents on Monday night that the school would remain closed the next day.
'After meeting with local authorities, we have made the decision to cancel school and be closed on Tuesday January 22, in order to ensure the safety of our students, faculty and staff.
'All activities on campus will be cancelled for the entire day and evening.

Also on Twitter a writer for Saturday Night Live, in a since-deleted Tweet, offered oral sex. "I will blow whoever manages to punch that MAGA kid in the face," Beattie Tweeted.
Will we see someone attacked--or even killed--over their support for the president?
Some conservatives, or possible conservatives, have dialed back their condemnation of the Covington boys, such as S.E. Cupp. "Hey guys,' Cupp Tweeted. "Seeing all the additional videos now, and I 100% regret reacting too quickly to the Covington story. I wish I’d had the fuller picture before weighing in, and I'm truly sorry."
