A high school student wearing a Ku Klux Klan costume in the classroom of a Wisconsin high school has sparked outrage online. A classmate at Westosha Central High School took the photo of the student, who wore the KKK outfit while making a presentation about crime in the 1920s.
"Once I heard it - I just can`t believe someone would actually put that on," said Brett Sandberg, an alumnus of the school.
That was the reaction from many as the image circulated on social media Monday.
"I would have said something - like maybe, instead of putting it on, I would have shown it not on myself," said senior Camille Tracy.
Principal Lisa Albrecht posted a statement on the school's Facebook page, which has since been taken down.

Not everyone in the community thinks an apology is warranted in this case.
"He`s not wearing it to recess. He`s wearing it for educational purposes. If that`s what his presentation was and he wanted to wear it, yeah he should," said Jack Harris, who lives near the school.
Others said there is a much better way to get your classmates' attention - one that won't end up on Twitter.
"I think it should have been shown instead of worn," said Sandberg.
Oh the horror! Those poor precious snowflakes!

He was being a Democrat.
No, the snowflakes went to a safe area in the school somewhere in the cafegymatoriaum where they’d be safe from this and shooters and such.

Not a single mention that the KKK was the terrorist arm of the Democrat party.

I assume the kid was giving a report on the history of the Democratic Party.
Maybe the kid is a democrat
Could have been worse—He might have worn a Confederate Uniform—or a Donald Trump Tee-Shirt.
English literacy obviously was not one of the administrator’s strengths.
