Summary: A group of
students at a South Carolina college are being suspended due to dressing up,
jokingly, in KKK uniforms and singing Christmas Carols. These students were
photographed by a woman, who posted these pictures to Facebook. The College's
president decided that this was a bit too far, thus resulting in suspension
proceedings. This college is also a college known for other counts of general
racism, KKK, and Nazi imagery taking place on campus. "Racism — defined as a "commission of
an act of an immoral or vicious nature" — is considered to be a Class 1
offense and subject to immediate suspension or expulsion.”
Analysis: This is a fairly interesting encounter
I suppose. The thought of racism in general is an interesting thing, but it
being taken so jokingly like such, makes it even more interesting.
Given all the things that the KKK has done to impact the history of the U.S,
such as attacking of vulnerable blacks, as well as counts of wrongdoing to
Jews, Catholics, and Liberals. These actions consisted of rape, castrations,
and even murder. These disgusting acts are not acts to be made fun of. Can we
move past such actions to promote the ongoing of American societal progress? I
would hope so.
how can we expect anything to change if its treated so lightly? this is horrible. Bernadette Negrete
