Worcester Tech Student Wears KKK Costume to School
Public School officials plan to review the use of costumes in schools. There was an incident at Worcester Tech in which a student came to school wearing a KKK costume for a "superhero and super villains" day at school. Arriving to school Thursday the girl took a picture with some friends in the hallway which would later be posted on social media. A teacher ordered her to take off the costume and it was all handled before the first bell. The girl apologized and didn't mean to offend anyone. The President of the WUNAAC did praise the school for their response to the situation.
Hearing this news and reading it was really shocking to me. This is a school that President Obama spoke to at their graduation and has a great reputation. I don't understand how the girl didn't think that a KKK costume wasn't going to offend anyone! The KKK is a very racial group and has a very bad reputation. Yes it would be a great villain costume but it's not school appropriate.
