My irony meter just pegged in the red zone…and melted.

The meltdown of the media narrative targeted at discrediting the March to Life by way of attempting to smear a group of Catholic high school kids has created some amazing scenes. A congressman has demanded that MAGA hats be banned for high school students (does anyone know of a better way to get kids to wear the hat?).

Now BuzzFeed has weighed in with its analysis.

I will never know what it's like to be around that face and its power as a Native person. But I know how many times I've seen that face in the classroom.

Cute, eh? One innocent Catholic high school kid slandered by the left is pretty much like another. Or, as she would have it, one white kid is much like the next.

Of course, that guy was also the guy with the gumption to ask for extensions. To miss class and email asking "what'd I miss?" To plagiarize. To get a C and come to office hours and try to flirt his way to a better grade. The gall of his mediocrity never ceased to surprise me.

I’ve never been in her class but based on her Twitter timeline, I suspect he wasn’t the only one snickering at her lectures.

This kid and his behavior is a symptom of something much larger. I don't think focuses on him, specifically, does much — and also leads to the current narrative of his victimhood.

For those convinced this kid did nothing wrong, here's a long and thorough breakdown, with extensive video, of what happened in the lead-up to the confrontation: https://t.co/OQowE3QIly

By the way, there is nothing in that article that makes here case, in fact, it goes along with the analysis by Reason’s Robby Soave.

And National Review is actually calling the elderly provocateur in this shameful mess a liar:

Back to the free psychoanalysis:

I have watched all of the videos. You can understand that the situation was more complex than the first video and still recognize why the sight of that face caused a visceral reaction in so many.

The derogatory comments, slurs, insults hurled at those kids by the other protesters? Also not okay. I have high hopes we can hold two thoughts in our head at one time.

This is really pathetic. This is the type of male-hating bitchiness that the modern feminist movement has mass produced and weaponized. I have no idea what this clown teaches but can you imagine what hell it must be in her class right up until the day you decide to go to the Drop-Add office? Can you imagine substituting any other race/ethnicity for “white” and being allowed to not only get away with the grotesque stereotyping but being cheered on by other unfragrant harpies with braided and dyed armpit hair?

In the index of “this is how you got Trump,” this kind of systemic bigotry and misandry has to be close to the top of the list. It tells young white men that it is perfectly okay to loathe them, to discriminate against them, to manufacture lies about them, to dox them to the world, to try to ruin their lives because they represent everything that the liberal elites see as wrong with the nation and they are supposed to meekly suck it up and ask for another kick in the teeth to make someone else feel better about their miserable piss-ant lives.
