Feb 1, 2020Finally some justice for maligned Covington Catholic student Nick Sandmann | Christine Flowers - The Philadelphia Inquirer
That’s the only explanation I have for what some people did to a young Catholic student from Kentucky last year, when he and his classmates from Covington Catholic High attended the March for Life. As a bunch of them waited for their bus to pick them up, a Native American activist named Nathan Phillips approached banging his drum. Some of the boys reacted chanting their school song while one of them, Nicholas Sandmann, stood face to face with Phillips. The boy was smiling, although many characterized his expression as a “smirk.” The screen shot of that encounter went viral, and was used to attack Sandmann as a bigoted, privileged white boy who was mocking both ethnic minorities and a woman’s “right to choose.” Now Sandmann has finally gotten some vindication via a settlement announced this week with CNN, whom Sandmann sued for defamation — and was just one of many outlets and public figures who took shots at the teen. One of the most offensive comments was from Representative Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, who incorrectly tweeted “The boys were protesting a woman’s right to choose & yelled ‘it’s not rape if you enjoy it.' ” She later deleted the tweet. Maggie Haberman of the New York Times observed that “there are dozens of students laughing and egging on the behavior. Will be interesting to see if anyone is actually expelled, as officials suggest is possible,” creating the false impression that the Catholic high school students were the aggressors. #right-rail .newsletter-card,.newsletter-card.hidden-desktop{display:none} Inquirer Morning Newsletter Get the news you need to start your day The Washingt...
Mar 29, 2019Joshua Tree National Park Just Got 4500 Acres Bigger, And The Flowers Are Poppin' - LAist
Land Management and the Mojave Desert Land Trust.
VISITING THE NEW LAND (AND THE FLOWERS)
To explore one of the new sections of the park, drive up Covington Flat Road from Yucca Valley until you hit a dry riverbed (dry when the skies are blue, at least). Warning: It's a deeply rutted dirt road. You'll need clearance, so don't drive your Prius. Park and hike up the riverbed as far as you like (and bring plenty of water!).
The best wildflowers right now are at the lower elevations of the park near the Cottonwood Visitor Center. If you take the park entrance near that visitor center, off the I-10, you can also avoid the long lines that often build up at the more popular entrance outside the town of Joshua Tree.
When it comes to wildflower selfies, curb your enthusiasm, Joshua Tree spokesman George Land urged. "It's not a 'Sound of Music' moment," Land said. "Try to resist the temptation to run out and twirl in the middle of [the flowers] so that someone can get you on Instagram."
Desert ecosystems are fragile. Stay on trails when possible.

Also, unless you have a reservation, campsites are hard to come by. There are some walk-up sites, but you'd be lucky to snag one, especially on a weekend.
You can also hike in and pitch a tent in several areas of the park, without a reservation (check with a park ranger for details). But you have to be willing to carry your gear at least a mile in and pack out your trash. Plus there are no restrooms (so bring a poop shovel!).
Important reminder: there's no running water anywhere in the park so you'll have to stock up before you enter.
National park administrators have no immediate plans for building new amenities like trails or campgrounds on the new land additions, Land said. But he noted that the legislation allows the park to acquire land for a new visitor center, which will help accommodate the increasing stream of tourists.
Land said close to three million people visited Joshua Tree last year — more than double the number of visitors in 2011, when he started working at the park. "We've been discovered," he said.
NO DEVELOPMENT. EVER. PERMANENTLY.
The Covington Flat area, one of the new park additions, has long been a popular hiking spot among locals. Until recently, it was also a popular playground for off-road vehicles, and the area has been explored as a potential location for...
