Dear Perri and Jonathan,
Are you serious??? You think that putting an 11 year into a KKK costume beating up on a black person doesn't send a coded racist message to children that all white people are closet KKK members?
You are simply naive. The truth is that during reconstruction, the KKK attacked anyone in favor of reconstruction, white or black. Then in the 20th century, their hate extended to immigrants, Catholics, Jews, blacks and organized labor.
The problem I see is that the message as interpreted by an 11 year old was too one dimensional being that white people don't like black people. That was the wrong message to instill on the mind of an 11 year old.
What should be taught is that any supremacist movement is evil and wrong. But that might begin to sound like a Christian message, so that would be have to be banned in school.
