I found this very disgusting to say the least. Well doing a play about a historical event and all its horror may be educational. I do not think for this age children it is important. High school would be better served to tackle this with a play about say; "Mississippi Burning" The FBI case investigation of the 3 civil rights workers slain.

I also think that this kind of history teaching of only the worst of American history is out of hand. All Americans were not members of the KKK, but you would never know that from the rhetoric today. I have never seen so much race baiting and hate to divide races as I have seen in the last 6 years. Blanket statements by politicians, that if made in the 60's or 70's would have them thrown from office. But today it is a political tool.

Not saying there are not race problems, but they are the fault of select group of people and a very small minority. It is also racism against Blacks, whites, Asian etc. I would be interested in exactly what this play was though and what it is based on to make a more informed opinion. In any case Good job Janice.
