A seventh-grade  student created a KKK board game as part of a project for school on racism and oppression, but flippancy in the game raised the concerns of one parent, who photographed the game and send her concerns on to a local chapter of the NAACP.

The offensive part: “You forget to clean your white robe so you can’t go to the lynching. You are punished. Move back two spaces.”

The principle assured the parent that the student was not trying to be offensive.

Update: Actually, more of the game was flippant than the original source indicated. See the NAACP’s post for the rest of the spaces.
