| Another Teacher Accused Of Allowing KKK Reenactment |
| 2010-05-26 |
| The Gwinnett County School District has launched an investigation after a teacher at Sweetwater Middle School allowed her eighth-graders to wear Ku Klux Klan costumes for a history project. A school spokesperson said the teacher, Stephanie Hunte, agreed to let the students dress-up last Thursday as part of a history project. The project was not approved by the school. Another teacher saw the students in the hallway and alerted an administrator. Hunte was told the project was inappropriate, and it was immediately stopped. Hunte was told not to come to school on Tuesday and to report to the district's central office on Wednesday. Wednesday is the last day of school for the district. The spokesperson said nothing has been decided on Hunte's future pending the outcome of the investigation. Hunte's been with the district since 2006. Gwinnett Schools Spokesperson Sloan Roach said no parents or students contacted administration to complain about the incident. Roach did not know how many students were involved. A similar incident happened at the high-school in Lumpkin County last week. That teacher was suspended for two days and returned to class Wednesday morning |

| #3 Well I guess the next time they're just have to ask Sen. Byrd (D-KKK) to speak. And your right it is history. Just as Slavery is history, the middle ages, Roman Empire, Attila the Hun, Genghis Khan, Stalin, Pol-Pot, etc... How will we ever learn from history if we don't lean about it/ |

| #2 What was the purpose of the history project, and what did it entail, besides playing dress-up? |
