(TheBlaze/AP) A North Dakota high school principal says appropriate action is being taken after three students briefly donned Ku Klux Klan-style white robes and hoods Friday night during a state hockey semifinal game.
The photo caused an uproar on Twitter when it was posted by 19-year-old Shane Schuster, who was seated with some friends at Ralph Engelstad Arena when something in the student section across the rink caught his eye.
I thought, `Are those KKK hoods? I couldnt believe it, Schuster said. I was shocked.
Schuster said he focused his camera phone and snapped a photo, later uploading it to Twitter. By late afternoon, it had more than 75 retweets, with many users expressing outrage and some wondering whether the picture was Photoshopped.
But Kristopher Arason, Red Rivers principal, said the schools investigation determined that the students put on the attire just after Red Rivers first goal and wore it for about 30 seconds to a minute. The teens removed the outfits after students in the section told them it was offensive, he said.
We, as a school, are extremely disappointed with the behavior of these three students, Arason said in a statement sent to The Associated Press on Saturday. This behavior is not a representation of our school or student body.
He did not indicate what disciplinary action the three unidentified students could face.
