A history teacher Catherine Ariemma, a five-year veteran with the Lumpkin County school system,was placed on administrative leave Monday after she let four students wear Ku Klux Klan outfits in a historical reenactment. She teaches an advanced placement history class at Lumpkin County High.
Her students were filming reenactments of various historical periods , and four donned Klan outfit. Students saw them as they walked through a hallway while wearing the costumes to an outdoor shoot, and the parents of an African-American child later complained about it.
Many people suggested that,it was just a history enactment that it should be taken lightly but Dressing up those KKKs,it's disturbing, and even worse to think about, the teacher should have thought that through before doing it, its just so sensitive, too sensitive. And just the thought of it, what is it about KKK was she teaching them? Why did she pick that of all things....i mean come on, you gotta think. I don't think i would tolerate some kids dressing up as the KKK as much as I wouldn't tolerate a bunch of kids wearing NAZI costumes, its a part of history that is very destructive and strikes negativity that we shouldn't be spreading or initiating..just a thought.
