Teacher Catherine Ariemma Allow Four Students to Wear Ku Klux Klan Outfits in Reenactment at Georgia High School

Catherine Ariemma, a history teacher at Lumpkin County High School in Dahlonega, Ga., was placed on administrative leave Monday after she allowed four students to wear Ku Klux Klan outfits in a historical reenactment. The Lumpkin County Schools superintendent Dewey Moye told the Atlanta Journal Constitution that the teacher "used extremely poor judgment."

Ms. Ariemma reportedly teaches an advanced placement history class. According to the AJC, her students were filming reenactments of various historical periods and four wore KKK outfits. The incident sparked outrage after students from other classrooms saw them as they walked down a hallway. The parents of an African American student at the school complained.

There is absolutely no excuse for anyone using such poor judgment.  This is so disturbing and on so many levels. She should have known that allowing the students to dress in KKK garb would spark outrage. She should be fired for being so dumb.
