I agree with you 100%. While reading this story, I was wondering if this "play" was constructive and had some kind of anti racist message. It is clear, by that one comment, that this "idea", was a poor decision to begin with and the teacher should have found a different, more thoughtful way to teach this lesson.
Imagine the comments, if they actually performed this play, that would follow the inevitable pics, that would be posted in the news and social media. My child goes to Bristol schools. This "muscular" approach to history, by allowing students to dress up as KKK members, seems a little suspicious to me. If my child were going to this school, I would be concerned about what else is being taught and the manner it is being conveyed to the kids.
Eastbayri.com, please don't remove that comment. It shows why this was a bad idea to start with.
