A middle school assignment asked students to justify the actions of the KKK


I really hoping this a social experiment because holy shit you'd have to be pretty inane to think this assignment wouldn't end up a shitstorm

Can a young person know the motivation of KKK members and argue it sound? I can't and I'm a young adult.

@SW-User an over-zealous attempt at creating order out of chaos after the Civil War. This is a problem that happens all over the world not just here after the Civil War.

@cherokeepatti The KKK is motivated by an attempt to create order? I don't think a young person would know this without being supplied the answer.

@SW-User I am sure, didn't say it was a positive order, only benefits those who created it. Something we need to think about today after chaos has happened.

@cherokeepatti I still don't like it. The teacher would be better advised to just say what happened instead of asking kids to relate to evil-doing.

@SW-User I don't like it either. But it opens up a huge discussion when people get angry.
