2 students suspended for wearing KKK garb to school on Halloween

[The Straight Story]

SMITHFIELD, Cache County (UT) — Two students from Sky View High School were suspended after showing up on Halloween dressed as members of the Ku Klux Klan.

The students, one of whom is white and the other black, wore robes and hoods resembling KKK clothing and carried torches.

Both students, whose names were not released, were sent home Thursday and suspended the following day. One of the students is a football player who was not allowed to play in Friday’s game.

"They were doing this in a joking manner — you know, a white and a black student doing that together,” said Mike Liechty, deputy superintendent of Cache County Schools. “I don't think there was any malicious intent."

3. I wonder what that book really was

And if it was just a blank prop that some signed I wonder where it is today (and if it will ever show up on Pawn Stars)?

4. Must be a mistake

We all know this doesn't happen outside of the racist bigoted south.

5. That was my first thought

They were just doing a scene from Blazing Saddles...

Seriously, though...
