Re: High Schooler Dresses up as KKK member for Halloween
I live in Cornwall, and this incident received alot of media coverage. There are many better articles than the one linked (from our local newspaper).
Obviously the 3 students that wore these costumes knew that they were controversial, and I'm sure that was their intent... being controversial as opposed to actually promoting racism. Kids make bad decisions all the time... so be it... That's one method of learning. As adults, it's our job to explain and correct bad behaviour when we see it. The most disturbing thing about this incident was the total lack of respect shown by school authorities when students came to them and complained. From this article [ QUOTE ] She spoke to the vice-principal who initially told her it was simply a Halloween costume. "He said I shouldn't take it personally. It's a joke." [/ QUOTE ] Seriously, when those in charge are as ignorant as this, what can we expect from those they are teaching. For those too lazy too read the linked article... here's your cliff notes.... <u>School Policy:</u> KKK Costume... OK Playboy Bunny.... BAD |
