There was no criminal intent behind their behaviour, probably the farthest thing on their minds at the time. They�re good students at the school.
�What could the criminal intent have been? Of course there was none, but there was incredible stupidity or ignorance. (if the latter the school's not doing a good job). Just do the Caper thing. Or, i guess tell everybody it's a capirote.

When told they were wearing a Ku Klux Klan outfit, the high school students responded...
"Is that an 80s pop band?"

That wasn't a KKK costume, that was a costume of a conehead ghost.

Still, anger over the costumes reportedly boiled over at school. One of the students was confronted by several others in the school cafeteria before a teacher broke up the crowd, said Abby Corneluis, a Grade 12 student.
I wonder if the school took action against those students and cautioned them about mob vigilante justice? I guess the irony would have been too much for them.

“The safety of our students is paramount to all members of our community and we will continue to work with them to ensure they feel safe and secure at school,” Berger wrote.
Ah again rather than you know being safe and secure at school you just get to feel like it. These fucking assholes (principals) are paid 6 figures and they still can't tell the difference between making their school safe and just giving the illusion of safety.Want to make the school safe? Punish those students that were confronting other students for how they dressed. Explain to them that they are not the police and if they have issue with something they can call 911 in an emergency.
Is anyone else worried about cultural appropriation that happened?

Just think of it as a sort of Niqab for white males.

Why is the school disciplining them for things that didn't happen at school? Are the kids who apparently now threatening them also being disciplined?
