Your allegation is fitting, as that was another bit of viral fake news from the weekend. The alleged harassers were proven not to be part of the Covington Catholic group.
Confirmation bias is tempting, but maybe everyone (including the media) should be more skeptical before taking the word of a tweet for granted? The poster saw a few boys in the midst of a crowded multi-march weekend and falsely ascribed the encounter to Covington in retrospect after the original controversy blew up.
Interesting aside - Bots were found to be the viral sharing element accelerating the original spread of the Covington controversy: https://www.cnn.com/2019/01/21/tech/twitter-suspends-account-native-american-maga-teens/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2019/01/21/tech/twitter-suspends-account...

And the full video [1] of the situation does not exonerate their racist actions.
